THE  OPEN  COURT  PUBLISHING 
COMPANY  was  founded  in  1887  by  Mr. 
E.  C.  Hegeler,  of  La  Salle,  111.,  for  the  i)urpose 
of  establishing"  ethics  and  religion  upon  a  scientific 
basis.  It  has  formulated  its  aims  differently  at 
different  times,  but  has  always  adhered  to  the  same 
ideal  of  working  out  a  relig^ious  reformation  through 
the  light  that  science  affords.  Without  animosity 
to  any  of  the  established  creeds  of  the  world  it 
stands  for  conservative  progress  based  upon  the 
most  radical  thought  and  fearless  investig^ation.  It 
holds  that  the  established  churches  have  their  mis- 
sions to  perform,  each  in  its  way,  but  that  it  is  highly 
desirable  to  raise  their  intellectual  level  to  a  higher 
plane  and  let  the  matured  results  of  science  enter 
into  the  fabric  of  our  religious  convictions.  For 
the  realization  of  this  purpose  The  Open  Court 
Publishing  Company  publishes  two  periodicals, 
T/ie  Monist,  a  quarterly  magazine  devoted  to  the 


philosophy  of  science,  and  llie  Open  Court,  an  ilkis- 
trated  monthly,  devoted  to  tlic  science  of  rclig-ion, 
the  relig^ion  of  science  and  the  extension  of  the 
Religious  Parliament  idea. 

In  addition,  Tiih  Open  Court  Puiilishing 
Company  publishes  books  that  directly  or  indirectly 
would  advance  its  aims  —  books  on  Philosophy, 
which  in  contrast  to  the  old  metaphysicism  lay  the 
foundation  of  a  philosophy  of  science  ;  books  on 
Mathematics  and  other  lines  of  thought,  indispen- 
sable for  a  rational  and  scientific  world-conception  ; 
books  that  have  a  bearing  on  the  doctrine  of  Evo- 
lution ;  and  books  on  the  History  of  Religion,  es- 
pecially the  development  of  Christianity,  including 
Higher  Criticism;  and  books  on  Comparative  Re- 
ligion, on  Psychology,  and  on  Ethics. 

The  Open  Court  Publishing  Company 
publishes  the  works  of  the  foremost  men  of  science 
and  progressive  religion.  It  furnishes  translations 
of  such  books  and  articles  as  are  of  international 
significance  in  the  history  of  culture,  and  for  the 
sake  of  completeness  makes  accessible  classical 
essays  of  the  past  in  inexpensive  reproductions. 
All  of  them  serve  the  same  purpose  —  a  reformation 
of  religious  life  on  the  basis  of  science.

ANSELM  OF  CANTERBURY. 

ST.  ANSELM  (1033-1109),  Archbishop  of  Caiilcrbury,  has  i^krn 
the  final  and  most  classical  shape  to  the  doctrines  of  Chrislianity. 
His  zvorks  did  not  become  antiquated  by  the  Reformation,  for  all 
the  great  reformers,  Luther  not  less  than  Calvin,  stand  here  on  the 
same  ground  with  the  Roman  Catholic  Church.  St.  .Inselm  7^'ith 
rare  penetration,  keen  logical  acuteness  and  vigorous  pozver  of 
expression  has  gizrii  a  definite  shape  to  the  philosophy,  of  Christen- 
dom, lAiielt  is  surprisingly  modern  even  froui  a  rationalist  point  of 
viezv.  Whatever  changes  may  arise  in  our  interpretation  of  Church 
Christianity,  no  one  ivill  understand  the  historic  growth  of  the 
Christian  faith  nnless  he  has  become  acquainted  zvith  it  through  St. 
.-Inselm.  He  is  the  source  of  all  later  expositions  of  Christianitx,  its 
pliilosophy  as  Zi'cll  as  its  apologetics. 


St.  Anselm:  Proslogium;  Monologium;  On  Behalf  of 
the  Fool  by  Gaunilon,  and  Cur  Deus  Homo. 

Translated  from  the  Latin  by  Sidney  Norton  Deane,  B.  A. 
Pages  xxxv+288.  Cloth,  $1.00  net.      (5s.  net.) 

"A  reprint  of  the  translation  made  almost  fifty  years  ago,  is  not  only  a 
just  recognition  of  work  well  done  by  Sidney  Norton  Deane,  but  it  opens 
to  the  general  reader  not  familiar  wilh  Latin,  or  to  whom  the  writings  of 
the  great  Catholic  Archbishop  of  Canterbury  are  not  accessible,  an  oppor- 
tunity  of   delving  in   a    very   rich    mine." — Dominicana. 

"The  rendering  of  Mr.  Sidney  Norton  Deane  is  scholarly,  fluent,  clear  and 
elegant.  It  will  make  accessible  to  many  for  the  first  time  the  writings 
of  the  great  English  Primate,  who,  according  to  Weber,  is  the  first  really 
speculative    thinker  after   Scotus." — Scotsman    (Daily),   Edinburgh. 

"This  work  is  valuable  because  it  makes  accessible  the  best  thoughts  of  one 
of  the  world's  great  thinkers.  Many  may  own  and  read  this  little  book 
who   would   never  have  access   to   Anselm's   Latin  works."

ARISTOTLE. 

This  most  famous  of  J'lato's  disciples  and  tutor  of  Alexander  the 
Great,  founded  at  Athens  a  {philosophical  school  zvhich  dealt  more 
particularly  with  ichat  i^'e  ivould  no:c  call  positive  science,  in  dis- 
tinction from  the  pra\ctical  school  of  Isocrates  and  the  speculative 
school  of  Xenocrates,  the  successor  of  Plato.  Classical  writers 
refer  to  dialectic  writiiii^s  of  Aristotle  i^'hich  were  celebrated  for 
their  literary  grace,  but  all  that  is  now  available  can  be  but  little 
more  than  rough  notes  for  lectures,  as  this  is  the  only  zvay  that 
their  inequalities  and  ahniptnesses  of  style  can  be  accounted  for. 
In  spite  of  this,  however,  they  are  of  paramount  iinporlance  in  the 
development  of  pliilosopJiy  and  science.  The  first  of  the  fourteen 
books  of  the  Metaphysics  forms  a  history  of  Greek  philosophy  up  to 
Aristotle's  time,  and  is  the  most  vahiable  source  for  our  present 
day    kno7vledge    of   pre-Aristotelian    thought. 


Aristotle  on  His  Predecessors. 

Iknng  the  first  book  of  his  metaphysics.  Translated  from  the 
text  of  Christ^  with  introduction  and  notes.  By  A.  E.  Taylor. 
M.  A.,  Fellow  of  Merton  College,  Oxford';  Frothingham 
Professor  of  Philosophy  in  McGill  University,  Montreal.  Pages 
160.  Cloth,  7^  cents  net  (3s.  6d.  net).  Paper,  35  cents  post- 
paid. 

The  present  translation  has  l)een  made  from  the  latest  and  most 
critical  Greek  text  available,  the  second  edition  of  W.  Christ, 
and  pains  have  been  taken  not  only  to  reproduce  it  in  readable 
English,  but  also  to  indicate  the  exact  way  in  which  the  trans- 
lator understands  every  word  and  clause  of  the  Greek.  He 
has  further  noted  all  the  important  divergencies,  between  the 
readings  of  Christ's  text  and  the  editions  of  Zellar  and 
BoNiTz,  the  two  chief  modern  German  exponents  of  Aristo- 
telianism. 

Not  the  least  advantage  of  the  present  translation  is  the  incor- 
poration of  the  translator's  own  work  and  thought.  He  has 
done  his  best,  within  the  limited  space  he  has  allowed  himself 
for  explanations,  to  provide  the  student  with  ample  means  ot 
judging  for  himself  in  the  light  of  the  most  recent  researches 
in  Greek  philosophical  literature,  the  value  of  Aristotle's  account 
of  previous  thought  as  a  piece  of  historical  criticism. 

"Just  as  I  use  your  Hume  and  your  Kant's  Prolegomena  in  class  work,  I 
hope  to  be  able  to  introduce  Aristotle  and  His  Predecessors.  ...  It  is 
done   with    Professor   Taylor's   well-known    and   admirable    skill." 

— R.  M.  Wenley,  University  of  MicJiigan. 

"The  version  is  concise,  clear  and  scholarly,  and  the  book  cannot  but  be 
found  interesting  and  serviceable  by  students,  whether  of  Greek  or  philos- 
oph.\-,   who   are   engaged   upon   this   important   text." — The   Scotsman.

EDGAR  A.  ASHCROFT. 

MR.  .ISHCROrT ,  a  native  of  Eiii^kuid  and  a  man  of  great  earnest- 
ness and  boldness,  treats  the  religious  problem  with  frankness  and 
enthusiasm.  Though  very  critical  in  religious  matters  and  a  follower 
of  Ernst  llacckel,  he  is  anxious  to  have  the  religious  and  sentiniental 
desires  of  mankind  satisfied.  He  zoants  guidance  in  life  and  tenable 
ideas  based  on  truih,  but  he  has  found  flic  established  religions 
laclcing  in  scientific  truth,  and  pJulosophical  and  scientific  reformers 
not  sufficiently  appreciative  of  the  needs  of  man's  soul.  His  book. 
The  JVorld's  Desires,  icJiich  bears  the  secondary  title  "The  Results 
of  Monism,"  is  dedicated  to  Professor  Ernst  Hacckel,  zvho  accepted 
it  with  "thanks  for  your  excellent  exposition  of  our  Monism,  and 
mainly  for  tlie  great  honor  of  my  personal  dedication.  I  hope  your 
book  will  I'crv  much  contribute  to  the  understanding  and  distribution 
of  tJie  true  monistic  philosophy  and  the  realistic  religion  connected 
with-  it.  I  wisli  sincerely  that  it  may  soon  reach  a  irry  wide  circle 
of  intelligent  readers." 


The  World's  Desires,  or  The  Results  of  Monism. 

An  Elementary  Treatise  on  a  Realistic  Religion  and  Philosophy 
of  Unman  Life.  By  Edgar  A.  Ashckoft.  Pages,  xii,  440. 
Cloth,  gilt  top,  $1.00' net.* 

This  book  is  a  carefnl  and  reverential  stndy  of  human  life  and 
philosophy,  as  viewed  from  a  monistic  standpoint.  A  strictly 
logical  and  scientific  ex]iosition,  indicating  a  midway  course 
between  irrational  fanaticism  and  unphilosophical  materialism. 

"An  attempt   to  popularize   the  cause  of  IVIonistic   Religion." 

—Pall   Mall    Gazette. 

"Mr.  Ashcroft  writes  with  evident  literary  gift  and  sense  of  reverence." 

—The    Outlook. 

"The  general  reader  who  wishes  to  understand  the  philosophy  of  Professor 
Haeckel  and  his  school,  could  not  easily  find  a  better  guide  than  Mr.  Ash- 
croft. .  .  .  Writes  pleasantly  and  lucidly  and  eschews,  as  far  as  possible, 
the    jargon    of  technicalities." — Publisher  and   Bookseller. 

"A  system  of  scientific  realism,  based  upon  the  conscientious  observations 
by  the  human  senses  of  the  complicated  facts  of  the  universe,  as  interpreted 
by  the  nerve  organisms." — The  Glasgozv  hicrald. 

"Instinct  and  persuasive  earnestness,  which  is  all  the  more  winning,  because 
it  comes  as  a  climax  to  a  careful  scientific  study.  ...  A  help  in  the  right 
direction.  .  .  .  His  language  is  dignified  and  clear.  .  .  .  We  cordially 
praise  its  sincere  and  generous  tone.  .  .  .  His  new  philosophy  has  joy- 
ousness  as  well  as  reasonableness." — Literary  Guide. 

"Mr.  Ashcroft  is  very  much  in  earnest  and  his  book  will  be  read  with 
pleasure  by  thousands  sympathizing  with  his  desire  to  solve  the  riddle  of 
the  painful   earth."— 7V;r   Daily   Mail,   London.

Hadley  Weathercoek"  with  its  refrain: 

"While  roundabout  and  roundabout  and   roundabout   I  go, 

The  way  o'  the  wind,  the  changing  wind,  the  way  o'  the  wind  to  show." 

These  poems  have  been  collected  from  many  of  tlie  best  periodicals 

■where  they  appeared  from  time  to  time,  and  a  nnmber  Jiave  been 

welcome  additions  to  I'arioiis  antholoi^ies.

"I  Hke  more,  the  oftcner  I  read,  your  Hadley  Weathercock.  It  is  a  real 
poem  of  the  kind  that  appears  only  now  and  then.  It  has  tliat  rare  merit 
particularity  with  the  widest  generalization.  Your  poems  satisfy  the  mind 
for  local  picturesqueness  and  they  have  the  wide  sweep  which  marks  all 
great  thought.  The  Hadley  Weathercock  was  hailed  with  delight  by  my 
assistants,  with  the  remark  tliat  it  would  give  distinction  to  our  volume

GEORGE  BERKELEY  (1685-1753). 

GEORGE  BERKEEEV,  Bishop  of  Cloyiie,  was  born  in  Ireland  in 
1684,  and  died  in  Oxford  in  1753.  ///  the  history  of  philosophy  he 
stands  for  subjective  idealism  carried  to  its  ultimate  conclusion, 
which  regards  material  objects  as  phenomena,  and  yet  his  z'iezvs  are 
closely  allied  to  the  empiricism  of  Eocke.  He  may  be  ranked  zvith 
Eeibnita,  Hume  and  even  Kant  as  one  of  the  leading  formnlators 
of  modern  thought.

contributions  to  Western  knoz^'ledge  of  the  lore  of  the  Orient  by 
editing  and  translating  classics  from  the  Sa)iskrit.  He  is  especially 
interested  in  the  philology,  history,  religion,  mythology  and  literature

Boards,  cloth  back.  Frontispiece.  50c  net.  (2s.  6d.  net.)

The  author  traces  the  mythological  origin  and  meaning  of  the 
(ireek  Cerberus  to  an  Indian  prototype  in  the  dogs  of  Yama, 
mentioning  also  analogous  figures  in  mythologies  of  other  races. 

"A  valuable  contribution  to  the  study  of  mythology." 

— Elias  Margolis  in  the  Pueblo  Star-Journal. 
".\  careful  compilation  of  the  singular  views  of  the  famous  mythical  dog 
that  is  guardian  of  the  realms  of  the  dead,  as  these  views  have  been  expressed 
in  classic  art,  and  in  Roman,  Hindu,  Persian  and  other  literatures.  The  study 
is  certainly  a  curiosity,  but  at  the  same  time  much  more  than  this.  It  is  the 
outworking  of  an  idea  that  is  found  securely  lodged  in  .the  literature  of  many 
nations." — Journal   of  Education,  Boston. 

"In  his  interesting  and  suggestive  little  essay.  Professor  Bloomfield  explains 
the  two  heads  which  Cerberus  so  frequently  has  in  Greek  vase-paintings,  and 
accounts  step  by  step  for  the  transition  from  the  sun  and  moon  as  the  gates 
of  heaven,  to  Cerberus,  the  guardian  of  the  doors  of  hell." — Academy,  London.

"I  have  read  the  poems  with  distinct  interest  and  pleasure.     They  are  all  of 
them  very  fine  in  thought,  very  genuine  in  sentiment,  ver}^  just  and  refined 
in   poetic   expression.     There    is   not   a   bit   of   poetical   affectation.     Not   one 
false  or  unreal  note  is   struck." — Simeon  Gilbert. 

'The  poems  give  evidence  of  deep  spiritual  insight  and  philosophic  thought,

day  world  of  ours." — Chicago  Legal  Ncivs.

The  Book  of  the  Dead  (so  called  by  Egyptologists  because 
its  several  chapters  arc  found  in  coffins),  is  really  a  collection 
of  protective  hymns  written  for  the  purpose  of  assuring  the 
safe  resurrection  of  the  deceased. 

"It  represents  the  psychology,  the  ethics,  and  the  pmblem  of  immortality  in 
the  forms  which  they  assumed  in  the  Nile  Valley  from  six  thousand  to  ten 
thousand  years  ago." — Tlie  Outloolc.

streams  of  boiling  water,  foul  stenches,  fiery  serpents,  hideous  animal-headed

similar  to  those  with  which  we  are  familiar  in  early  Christian  and  medireval

The  Gods  of  the  Egyptians  or    Studies    in    Egyptian 

Mythology. 

By  E.  A.  Wallis  Budge.  With  98  ]ilatcs  and  131  specially 
prepared  illustrations  in  the  text.  2  \'ols.  Tp.  548,  440.  I'rice,

A  Description  of  the  I\G:yptian  Pantheon  hased  upon  original 
research;  methodical,  thorough,  and  ui^to-datc  in  every  respect. 
It  is  unique,  and  the  prohahility  is  that  the  work  will  soon  be- 
come rare. 

The  original  cditicni  consisted  of  1500  copies,  but  a  disastrous 
fire  in  the  bindery  destroyed  500  of  them,  thus  limiting  the 
edition  to  1000  copies.  As  the  color  plates  were  printed  at 
great  cost  bv  lithogra]ihic  process,  and  the  drawings  on  the 
stones  immediately  after  destroyed,  there  is  scarcely  any  proba- 
bility of  replacing  the  lost  copies  by  a  new^  edition. 
The  author  discusses  the  worship  of  spirits,  demons,  gods  and 
other  supernatural  beings  in  Egypt  from  the  Predynastic  period 
to  the  time  of  the  introduction  of  Christianity  into  the  country. 
Full  use  has  been  made  of  the  results  of  recent  investigations 
and  discoveries,  whereby  it  has  been  found  possible  to  elucidate 
a  large  number  of  fundamental  facts  connected  with  the  various 
stages  of  religious  thought  in  ancient  Egypt,  and  to  assign  to 
them  their  true  position  chronologically.  The  ancient  Libyan

GEORGE  T.  CANDLIN. 

THE  REJ\  GEORGE  T.  C.IXPLLX  has  been  a  missionary  in 
Northern  China  for  nian\'  years,  and  is  an  interested  student  of  the 
life,  ciisioiNs  and  literature  of  the  Chinese.  He  zeas  especially  inter- 
ested in  the  World's  Parliainent  of  Rclii^ions  and  the  idea  of  its 
Extension  inoveinent.  His  broad  insight  led  him  to  name  as  the 
great  problem  of  the  foreign  missionary,  "the  attitude  zchich  Chris- 
tians must  assume  to  non-Christian  faiths,  and  the  feeling  towards 
Christianity  to  be  promoted  amongst  tion-Christians."  Mr.  Candlin 
believes  that  the  rcpresentatii'es  of  zvorld  religions  should  enter 
into  covenant  zcitli  one  another:     "(1)   Personally  never  to  speak 

slightingly  of  the  religions  faitli  of  one  another (2)    Officially 

to  promote  among  their  partisans,  by  all  means  in  their  pozcer,  .  .  . 
a  like  spirit  of  brotherly  regard  and  lionest  respect  for  the  beliefs  of 
others.  (3)  To  discourage  amongst  the  various  peoples  they  serzr 
as  religious  guides,  all  such  practices  and  ceremonies  as,  not  consti- 
tuting an  essential  part  of  their  faith,  are  the  strongest  barriers  to 
miion.     (4)    To  promote  all  such  measures  as  zeill  adz'once  progress 

and  enlightenment among  the  people  of  their  oz^'ii  faith  and 

nationality.  (5)  To  regard  it  as  part  of  their  holiest  zcork  on  earth 
to  enlist  all  men  of  ability  and  influence  zvith  zchom  they  are  brought 
into  contact  in  the  same  noble  cause."

of  The  Open  Court  Tnblishin!^  Company.  I  /is  -clcirs  may  he  cliarac-

considerably  from  HaeckeTs  monism,  which  is  practicallx  material- 
ism, and  cz'cn  more  so  from  the  Trench  positiiism  of  Comte  and 
from   ai^nosticism,   its  Eni:;lish   eqnivaloit. 

Briefly  stated,  he  woidd  systematize  the  facts  of  experience  info  a 
consistent  and  unitary  i\.'orld-conception.  lie  has  characterized 
his  position  in  a  motto  on  the  title  patj^c  of  his  Tiindamcntal  [Prob- 
lems as  follozcs: 

"Not  agnosticism  but  positive  Science, 

Not  mysticism  but  clear  thought. 
Neither   supernaturalism    nor  materiaHsm 

But  a  unitary  conception  of  the  worhl, 
Not  doe;ma  but  Reb'gidn,

domain  of  morality  and  in  religious  doctrine,  shozci)ig  that  a  dj'linite 
world-conception  underlies  all  our  intellectual  life;  while  -i^  the 
latter  is  pointed  out  for  the  first  time  the  difference  between  Tcause 
and  reason  which,  simple  though  it  is,  is  of  paramount  impoi-iance 
in  scientific  and  philosophic  thought.  The  confusion  that  generally 
prevails  on  this  subject  is  the  source  of  innumerable  errors  in  the 
sxstetns  of  the  great  philosophers  from  Aristotle  down  to  the  present 
day.  Dr.  Cams  has  again  treated  the  same  problem  in  his  later 
pnbHcafions.  especially  in  Fundamental  Problems  and  in  the  Primer 
of  Philosophy. 

"Dr.  Carus  stands  among  those  philosophers  who  set  themselves  in  accord 
with  their  lime.  His  ideal  is  to  rmify  the  activities  of  the  world,  or,  to 
•  speak  more  accurately,  to  help  others  to  perceive  their  unity.  His  philosophy 
is  in  accord  with  whatever  is  best  in  scientific,  or  inventive,  or  artistic  achieve- 
ment. He  stands  with  Comte,  with  Whitman,  and  with  Emerson  in  his 
advocacy  of  eternal  interrogation  and  efficient  creativeness.  The  religion  of 
Dr.  Carus  has  this  practical  application — to  perform  the  day's  efficient  task, 
believing  all  things,  hoping  all  things,  trusting  all  things,  and  proving  all 
things.     This  is  a  clean,  clear,  definite  and  hcarteni:'.g  propaganda."

BUDDHISM. 
Buddhism  and  Its  Christian  Critics. 

V,\  l)K.  Paul  Carus.     Xcw  and  Kcvise'd  l-'dilion.     Pages,  311. 
$1.25.     (6s.  6d.) 

Contents:  ddie  Origin  of  Buddhism;  The  Philosophy  of 
Buddhism;  Tlie  I'sycliolcit^ical  Problem;  The  Basic  Concepts  of 
Buddhism ;  Buddhism  and  Christianit)' ;  Christian  Critics. 
l^)uddhism.  so  important  in  the  history  of  religion  on  account 
of  its  many  parallels  to  Christianity,  is  greatly  misunderstood 
and  misrepresented.  The  present  book  sets  forth  in  brief,  but 
sufificiently  detailed  outlines,  the  origin  of  Buddhism,  its  phi- 
losophy, its  psychology,  and  its  underlying  world-conception 
contrasting  it  with  Christianity,  pointing  out  similarities,  dis- 
cussing the  probabilities  of  a  mutual  influence,  and  finally 
criticizing  the  leading  Christian  critics  of  lUiddhism.  Dr. 
Carus  shows  a  sympathetic  attitude  toward  Buddhism,  with- 
out, however,  opposing  Christianity.  He  pays  considerable 
attention  to  the  mission  problem,  and  advocates  missions  for 
the  purpose  of  mutual  exchange  of  thought. 

"What  our  author  says  of  missionaries  should  be  read  and  heeded  b\r  mis- 
sionaries cverj-where.  As  a  study  in  comparative  rehgion,  as  a  demarcation 
between  the  abstraction  and  passivity  of  Buddhism  and  the  activit.v  and  salva- 
tion-in-strttggle  of  Christianity,  Dr.  Carus's  volume  is  admirable.  It  is  hardly 
less  so  in  its  illuminative  description  of  the  origin,  basic  concepts,  philosophy 
and  psychology  of  Buddhism  itself.  The  author's  calm  judicial-mindedness 
and  absence  of  mere  sentimentalism  peculiarly  lit  him  for  the  work."  —Outlook. 
"The  enlightened  Buddhist  wovdd  be  helped  by  it,  and  there  is  not  a  sectarian 
Christian  on  the  planet  who  might  not  1)e  broadened  or  softened  by  it.  It  is 
a  reconciling  book." — The  Cuming  Day,  London.

1907.     Pages,  xii,   167.     Price,  23  cents.     (Is.) 

The  Dharma  is  a  systematic  exposition  of  Buddhist  doctrines, 
containing,  First,  quotations  of  the  typical  tenets  formulated 
in  Twelve  Articles,  then,  an  outline  of  the  Abidharma,  the 
Buddhist  philosophy,  and  finally,  explanations  refuting  some 
popular  errors.  Not  the  least  noteworthy  is  a  collection  of 
geins  of  Buddhist  poetry.  The  book  is  heartily  recommended 
and  endorsed  by  leading  Buddhist  priests  of  different  countries. 

"A  compact  and  comprehensive  exposition  of  Buddhism." — Boston  Globe. 
"If  you  wish  to  see  truth  in  simplicity,  study  this  exposition  of  Buddhism. 
You  will  be  ashamed  to  call  yourself  Presbyterian,  or  Methodist,  or  Baptist, 
and  wish  that  you  might  be  a  true  and  sincere  Buddhist.  .  .  Truth  derived 
from  Buddhism  enables  us  to  understand  the  Prophets  and  the  Gospels  aright."

The  sacred  l)()oks  (^f  lUiddhi:^  are  very  voluminous,  and  the 
Scriptures  referring;-  to  the  hie  of  its  founder  have  never  been 
systematically  compiled.  Soon  after  the  Relig'ious  Parliament, 
when  Dr.  Cams  had  been  thrown  into  contact  with  living, 
representatives  of  this  remarkable  faith,  he  undertook  this  lonj^- 
needed  work,  and  he  did  it  in  a  conservative  as  well  as  sym])a- 
thetic  way,  arranging  translations  of  the  several  sources  of  the 
life  of  the  IJuddha  in  one  connected  narration,  introducing 
his  doctrines,  together  with  the  occasion  on  which  they  were 
taught.  The  bock  has  proved  an  unparalleled  success,  for  it 
has  become  an  authoritative  book  with  the  lUiddhists.  It  is 
used  in  temples  and  schools  in  Japan,  Ceylon,  and  other  Bud- 
dhist countries,  and  has  been  translated  into  Chinese,  Japanese 
(two  translations),  Urdu,  I'cngali,  Teluga,  Siamese,  Tamil, 
Malay,  etc. ;  further  into  German,  Dutch,  l-'rench  and  Spanish. 

"The  book  will  help  its  readers  to  <'i  clearer  conception  of  the  character  of  the 
sweetest  of  the  pagans." — Chicagu  Ei'Ciiing  Post. 

"In  addition  to  a  ver\'  luminans  and  suggestive  preface,  Dr.  Cams  furnishes 
a  table  of  references,  showing  at  an  eye-glance  the  sources  of  his  extracts  and 
the  parallelism  in  the  gospels.  He  gives  also  a  glossary  of  names  and  terms, 
a  method  of  pronunciation  and  a  good  index.  The  simplicity  of  this  presen- 
tation, the  freedom  of  the  text  from  notes  or  uncouth  and  outlandish  dia- 
critical points,  and  the  general  arrangement  of  the  work  are  admirable.  .  . 
It  is  admirably  fitted  to  be  a  handbook  for  the  single  reader  or  for  classes."

Read  with  a  pretty  wakeful  discrimination,  this  is  a  book  which  is  fitted  to

The  story  of  Karma  drives  home  in  a  direct  and  forcible 
way  the  advisability  of  good  vrill  toward  all.  Count  Tolstoi 
commended  it  for  both  "its  artlessness  and  its  profundity." 
He  translated  the  story  into  Russian,  and  hence  was  supposed 
in  certain  re-translations  from  Russian  into  French,  German 
and  English  to  be  its  author.  When  he  discovered  the  error 
he  wrote :  'T  deeply  regret  not  only  that  such  a  falsehood 
w^as  allowed  to  pass  unchallenged,  but  also  the  fact  that  it  was 
a  falsehood  in  reality,  for  I  should  be  very  happy  were  I  the 
author  of  this  tale  ....  It  is  one  of  the  best  products  of 
national  wisdom,  and  ought  to  be  bequeathed  to  all  mankind." 

"A  thing  of  rare  beauty." — Boston  Daily  Advertiser. 

"Simply  a  gem." — Presbyterian  and  Reformed  Review. 

"1  read  it  aloud  to  children  and  they  liked  it.  And  amongst  grown-up  people 
its  reading  always  gave  rise  to  conversation  about  the  gravest  problems  of 
life.     And,  to  my  mind,  this  is  a  very  good  recommendation." 

— Count  Leo  Tolstoi. 

"The  story  puts  the  tangled  and  mysterious  doctrine  of  Karma  in  such  clear 
and  pretty  lights  that  each  chapter  reads  in  epigram  melodious  as  the  proverbs 
and  as  absorbingly  interesting  as  a  fairy  romance." — Chicago  Daily  News. 
"There  is  nothing  in  the  shape  of  a  holiday  book  on  the  market  that  so 
strongly  appeals  to  the  intelligent  and  cultivated  reader  as  does  this  odd 
and  beautiful  publication." — The  American  Israelite. 

"The  tale  is  in  Dr.  Carus's  loftiest  vein.  It  at  once  charms  and  enslaves. 
The  reader  is  held  spellbound  till  the  end  is  reached,  and  he  rises  a  wiser  and 
better  man.  The  tale  is  as  wholesome  as  it  is  sparkling,  and  as  uplifting 
as  it  is  frank  and  fearless." — The  Gentleman's  Journal.

"The  scene  is  in  a  Brahman  village  in  Northern  Central  India,  and  reminds

(2s.  6d.) 

The  story  Amitabha  has  a  historical  setting  in  the  ascend- 
ancy of  the  kingdom  of  Gandhara,  under  King  Kanishka,  whose 
interest  in  Buddhism  and  whose  connection  with  Acvaghosha, 
the  great  Buddhist  philosopher,  are  well  known.  The  plot 
has  unity  of  interest,  but  gives  ample  opportunity  in  discussion 
and  incident  to  explain  and  illustrate  some  of  the  cardinal 
points  of  Buddhism,  especially  in  regard  to  the  way  of  salva- 
tion and  the  God-conception  represented  by  Amitabha  Buddha, 
the  Source  of  Infinite  Light  and  the  Standard  of  Being,  as 
distinct  from  the  Brahman  idea  of  a  conscious  personal  deity. 

The  book  is  in  an  edition  approximately  uniform  with  Nirvana 
and  contains  a  few  explanatory  notes  and  references  in  the  back. 
The  lettering  on  the  brown  board  covers  is  in  imitation  of  Sans- 
krit characters  and  the  decoration  is  a  detail  from  the  frontis- 
piece of  the  book.  This  frontispiece  is  a  reproduction  of  a 
statue  found  at  Gandhara,  which  is  supposed  to  be  the  oldest 
Buddhist  statue  now  in  existence.  It  is  especially  appropriate 
to  accompany  the  story  of  Amitabha,  for  it  represents  the 
influence  of  the  Greek  sculptors  who  in  Kanishka's  reign 
"flocked  to  Gandhara,  transplanting  the  art  of  their  home  to 
the  soil  of  India."

Chinese  Philosophy. 

Ilciiii;"  ail  I'lxpositioii  of  the  Main  Characteristic  l-'eaturcs  of 
Chinese  Thought.  I5y  Dr.  Paul  Cakus.  Pages,  62.  Numer- 
ous diagrams,  native  characters  and  illustrations.  Paper,  25 
cents.      (Is.  6d.) 

It  is  a  sketch,  not  an  exhaustive  treatise,  and  still  less  a  history 
of  Chinese  philosophy.  It  purports  to  serve  as  an  introduction 
to  the  intricacies  of  typically  Chinese  notions,  explaining  their 
S}mbols  and  revealing  their  masteries  in  terse  and  intelligible 
language.  The  brevity  is  intentional,  for  the  essay  is  meant  to 
give  a  bird's-eye  view  of  the  Chinese  world-conception.  While 
appreciating  the  remarkable  genius  exiiibited  by  the  founders 
of  the  Chinese  civilization,  the  author  points  out  the  foibles  of 
the  Chinese  and  traces  them  to  their  source.  It  is  noteworthy 
that  in  spite  of  its  candid  and  unreserved  criticism,  the  essay 
was  well  received  by  the  Chinese  authorities  and  was  granted 
the  rare  honor  of  being  recommended  by  the  Tsung  Li  Yamen 
of  Peking,  the  Imperial  Foreign  Office,  and  placed  on  file  in 
their  archives. 

A  Chinese  scholar  writes :  "When  the  Tsung  Li  Yamen  volun- 
tarily certifies  that  a  Western  scholar  fully  understands  Chi- 
nese philosophy,  and  the  Book  of  Changes  as  an  incidental  sec- 
tion of  the  same,  it  would  be  well  for  those  who  happen  to  be 
interested  in  either  of  these  topics  to  inquire  what  he  has  to 
say  ....  SufBce  it  to  say  that  the  author  made  a  profound, 
if  not  an  absolutely  incomprehensible,  topic  to  a  certain  extent 
luminous,  and  to  an  even  greater  degree  interesting." 

"The  author  gives  in  his  introduction  terse  and  discriminating  characteriza- 
tions of  the  'rare  mixture  of  deep  thought  and  idle  speculations'  which  make 
up  the  Chinese  philosophy,  and  in  his  conclusion  expresses  equally  just  opin- 
ions of  China's  present  unhappy  helplessness." — /.  I\I.  Foster,  Szvatozv,  China, 
in  The  American  Journal  of  Theology. 

"Valuable  and  of  unquestioned  reliability.  The  delineation  of  the  philosophy 
that  underlies  the  Chinese  civilization  is  so  ably  done  in  these  pages  that 
the  reader  cannot  fail  to  appreciate  the  causes  which  produce  Chinese  con- 
servatism."— Toledo  Blade. 

"There  is  no  one  in  America  better  qualified  than  Dr.  Cams  to  treat  of  this 
and  kindred  subjects.  It  has  been  his  life  study — and  we  know  of  no  writer 
who  can  place  so  abstruse  a  subject  in  so  interesting  a   form."

Chinese  Thought. 

An  Exposition  of  the  Main  Characteristic  Features  of  the 
Chinese  World-Conception.  \\y  Paul  Cakus.  Jieinj^  a  con- 
tinuation of  the  author's  essav,  Chinese  Philos()i)hy.  lUus- 
trated.    Index.     Pages,  195.    ^I'.OO  net.     (4s.  6d.) 

This  l)ook  contains  much  that  is  of  very  great  interest  in  the 
development  of  Chinese  culture.  Beginning-  in  the  first  chap- 
ter with  a  study  of  the  earliest  modes  of  thought-communica- 
tion among  primitive  people  of  different  parts  of  the  world, 
and  tracing  the  growth  of  the  present  system  of  Chinese  cali- 
graphy.  In  "Chinese  Occultism"  some  interesting  (Oriental 
mystical  ideas  are  explained  as  well  as  the  popular  methods  of 
divination  by  means  of  trigrams  and  the  geomancer's  compass. 
In  a  special  chapter  the  zodiacs  of  different  nations  are  com- 
pared with  reference  to  the  Chinese  zodiac  and  also  as  to  a  pos- 
sible common  Babylonian  origin.  This  chapter  contains  many 
rare  and  valuable  illustrations  representing  almost  all  known 
zodiacs  from  those  of  Egypt  to  those  of  the  natives  of  the  West- 
ern hemisphere.  The  influence  of  Confucius  is  discussed,  and  a 
hurried  recapitulation  of  the  most  important  points  in  Chinese 
history  is  given,  together  with  a  review  of  the  long  novel  which 
stands  in  the  place  of  a  national  epic.  Chinese  characteristics 
and  social  conditions  have  their  place  in  this  volume  as  well  as 
remarks  upon  the  part  played  in  China  by  Christian  missions, 
and  upon  the  introduction  of  Western  commercialism.  The 
author's  object  is  to  furnish  the  necessary  material  for  a  psy- 
chological appreciation  of  the  Chinese  by  sketching  the  main 
characteristic  features  of  the  ideas  which  dominate  Chinese 
thought  and  inspire  Chinese  morality,  hoping  thereby  to  con- 
tribute a  little  toward  the  realization  of  peace  and  good  will 
upon  earth.  Nowhere  is  there  more  solid  information  concern- 
ing things  Chinese  gathered  into  so  small  a  compass  as  has 
been  done  here,  and  much  of  it  has  been  dug  out  from  recondite 
sources  sometimes  not  easily  accessible  even  to  sinologists. 

"The  author  is  to  be  commended  on  the  completeness  and  the  erudition  with 
which  he  has  handled  an  obscure  subject." — The  Argonaut. 

"To  all  interested  in  Chinese  and  other  Eastern  civilization  this  book  will 
possess  compelling  fascination,  so  full  is  it  of  careful  research,  ably  presented 
by  one  of  the  most  competent  scholars  of  the  age." 

— Courier-Journal,  Louisz'illc,  Ky. 

"The  essential  sanity  and  goodness  of  the  Chinese  character  receives  an 
appropriate  tribute  and  its  very  faults  are  set  forth  as  rather  misapplied 
virtues  than  anything  widely  varying  from  our  own  conceptions  of  right  and 
wrong." — The  Chicago  Daily  News.

114.    75  cents  net.     (  os.  6(1.  net.) 

This  book  is  little  more  than  a  comi)ilation  of  Chinese  illus- 
trations. aceoiu]:)aniecl  with  only  as  much  text  as  will  suUice 
to  explain  them,  and  what  further  material  has  been  added  is 
merely  in  the  way  of  quotations  from  Chinese  literature.  The 
intention  is  to  make  the  Chinese  people  characterize  themselves 
by  word  and  picture.  Child  rhymes,  love  lyrics  and  songs  of 
revelry  are  introduced  in  translations  from  Chinese  poetry  which 
is  recognized  as  classical.  The  illustrations  which  form  the 
great  body  of  the  book  are  from  one  of  the  most  authentic 
sources  of  information  concerning  modern  life  in  China,  unaf- 
fected by  the  aggressive  Occidental  foreigners.  The  book  is 
divided  into  chapters  on  "Annual  Festivities,"  "Industries  and 
Foreign  Relations,"  "Confucianism  and  Ancestor  Worship," 
"Taoism  and  Buddhism,"  "Childhood  and  Education."  "Be- 
trothal and  Marriage,"  "Social  Customs  and  Travels,"  "Sick- 
ness and  Death." 

"A  unique  book." — Louisville  Courier-Journal. 

"A  simple  presentation  of  the  realities  of  things  unmixed  with  an_\-  thcori/cing. 
.  .  The  numerous  illustrations  are  genuine  specimens  of  Chinese  art,  full  of 
quaintness  and  sometimes  of  quiet  humor." — Glasgow  Daily  Herald. 

"With  each  of  the  reproduced  illustrations  goes  the  explanation  needed  for 
complete  understanding,  whether  the  picture  be  one  of  the  gods,  of  the  cele- 
bration of  a  religious  festival,  of  the  planting  of  rice,  or  of  boys  in  school.  In 
this  way  nearly  the  whole  of  the  life  of  the  Chinese  people  finds  exposition, 
and  the  western  man  can  follow  his  eastern  cousin  into  his  home  and  through 
his  entire  days  on  earth  with  ready  comprehension." — Chicago  Daily  Ne^vs.

Lao-Tze's  Tao  Teh  King. 

Cliinesc-luii;lish.  W  ith  Introduction,  Transliteration,  and 
Notes.  V>y  Dr.  Paul  Carus.  With  a  photogravure  frontis- 
piece of  the  traditional  picture  of  Lao-Tze,  especially  drawn  for 
the  work  by  an  eminent  Japanese  artist.  7\])pro])riately  bound

Lao-tze,  one  of  the  most  profound  sages  in  the  history  of  human 
civilization,  wdio  lived  600  years  P>.  C,  and  100  years  before 
P)uddha,  left  a  most  remarkable  little  treatise  on  Reason  and 
V'irtue,  which  is  here  reproduced  in  its  Chinese  text,  accom- 
panied by  translation  and  explanations  so  as  to  make  even 
minute  shades  of  the  original  accessible  to  the  English  reader. 

The  Canon  of  Reason  and  Virtue. 

Lao-Tze's  Tao  Teh  King.  Translated  into  English  from 
the  Chinese  by  Dr.  Paul  Carus.  Separate  reprint  from  the

"Allow  me  to  congratulate  yon  on  your  capacity  for  seeing  into  mill-stones." 
— Rev.  Arthur  H.  Smith,  American  Board  of  Missions,  Tientsin,  China. 
"It  goes  without  saying  that  the  task  of  obtaining  sufficient  acquaintance  with 
the  Chinese  language  to  translate,  under  the  conditions  named,  a  book  like 
that  of  Lao-Tze,  is  a  gigantic  one.  Dr.  Carus's  success  is  little  short  of 
marvelous.  He  frequently  cites  the  versions  of  others,  and  it  seems  clear  that 
Dr.  Carus  has  succeeded  better  than  Dr.  Legge  or  Dr.  Chalmers  in  the 
passages  where  we  are  able  to  compare  them — a  very  remarkable  fact,  indeed." 

— North  China  Herald. 
"I  thank  you  heartily  for  your  kindness  in  sending  me  a  copy  of  your  fine 
translation  and  critical  exposition  of  Lao-Tze's  Tao  Teh  King.  It  was  years 
ago  that  I  read  it.  Your  publication  of  the  Chinese  text  will  be  highly  appre- 
ciated by  all  who  want  to  make  a  study  of  the  philosopher.  As  I  read  the 
text  and  then  the  translation,  I  am  astonished  how  well  you  kept  the  original 
terseness  and  severe  brevity  in  English." — Professor  S.  IVatasr. 
"Nothing  like  this  book  exists  in  Chinese  literature ;  so  lofty,  so  vital,  so  rest- 
ful. .  .  We  have  compared  this  translation  with  three  others — two  English, 
one  German — and  have  no  hesitation  in  saying  it  is  the  most  satisfactory  and 
serviceable  as  well  as  least  expensive  now  accessible  to  the  public.  The 
bright  cover  of  yellow  and  blue  is  very  appropriate  and  suggestive  of  the 
Celestial  Kingdom." — The  Hartford  Post. 

"The  Canon  contains  much  that  is  in  accord  with  Christian  sentiment,  though 
written  before  the  time  of  Jesus.  It  is  exceedingly  interesting  as  showing 
that  truth  is  the  same  for  all  time  and  by  whomever  presented."

PSYCHOLOGY  AND  PHILOSOPHY. 

The  Soul  of  Man. 

An  liivestif^atioii  of  the  Facts  of  Physiological  and  Experi- 
mental i'sycholor-v.  r.y  Dk.  Paul  Cakus.  Third  edition. 
1905.  With  an  Ajjpendix  on  the  latest  researches  in  I'hysiol- 
ogy.  182  diagrams.  Pages,  xviii,  482.  Price,  cloth,  $1.50 
net.     (6s.  net.) 

This  is  a  popnlar  exposition  of  psychology,  treating  first  the 
philosophical  problems  of  the  .origin  of  mind,  and  the  rise  of 
organized  life,  together  with  kindred  topics,  the  ([nestion  of 
vitalism,  feeling  and  motion,  natnre  of  memory,  etc.  It  then 
discusses  the  j^hysiologv  of  brain-activity  from  the  standpoint 
of  evolution,  as  well  as  comparative  anatomy.  This  part  of 
the  book  is  fully  illustrated,  and  affords  an  opportunity  for  a 
layman  to  acquire  an  insight  into  the  physiology  of  both  animal 
and  human  brain  functions  in  their  relation  to  p.sychical  proc- 
esses. Of  especial  interest  may  be  considered  the  chapter  on 
the  'Tmmortality  of  the  Race  and  the  Data  of  Propagation." 
The  rest  of  the  book  is  devoted  to  specifically  psychological 
chapters,  including  the  discussion  of  facts  of  modern  psychol- 
ogy, such  as  double  personality,  hypnotism  and  its  dangers, 
dreams  and  hallucinations,  suggestion,  etc. 

Of  special  interest  is  Dr.  Carus's  theory  of  the  origin  of  feeling 
and  consciousness,  which  originates  by  organization  through 
memory.  Dim  feelings  become  clear  by  being  compared  to 
former  feelings.  Isolated  feelings  remain  subliminal.  They 
become  conscious  by  being  felt.  A  step  further  in  the  origin 
of  mind  is  made  when  feelings  become  representative,  i.  e.. 
when  thev  acquire  meaning  and  when  sense  impressions  denote 
the  presence  of  objects. 

Dr.  Cams  further  propounds  a  new  theory  of  the  nature  of 
pleasure  and  pain,  rejecting  the  old  notion  that  pleasure  is 
identical  with  growth,  and  pain  with  decay.  ( Cf.  also  his 
article  in  the  Moiiisf,  \'l,  432.)  His  theory  of  the  physiologi- 
cal conditions  of  consciousness  has  been  discussed  by  physiol- 
ogists. ( For  instance,  in  the  Journal  of  Neurology,  by  its  editor, 
the  late  Clarence  L.  Herrick).  Dr.  Cams  claims  that  the 
cortex  is  the  storehouse  of  memories,  but  not  the  seat  of  con- 
sciousness. Its  activity  is  only  partly  illumined  by  conscious- 
ness according  to  physiological  conditions.  The  conclusion  of 
the  book  is  devoted  to  ethical  and  religious  problems,  such  as 
freedom  of  will  and  responsibility,  the  origin  of  death,  immor- 
tality, the  communism  of  soul  life,  and  the  soul  of  the  iniiverse. 

"A  solid  addition  to  the  works  upon  physiological  psychology." 

— Public  Of'iliioii. 
"The  work  of  a  profound  scholar,  and  yet  written  in  lan^iage  so  simple  that 
the  youngest  reader  can  comprehend   it." — Boston   Transcript.

Primer  of  Philosophy. 

A  Popular  Exposition  of  the  Fundamental  Notions  of  Phil- 
osophy. By  Dr.  Paul  Carus.  Third  edition.  Pages,  vi,  242. 
Cloth,' $1.00  (5s.) 

A  systematic  exposition  of  a  philosophy  of  science  based  upon 
critically-sifted  experience.  Dr.  Carus  builds  up  his  philosophy 
upon  facts.  He  rejects  axioms  of  any  kind,  even  in  mathe- 
matics. He  derives  the  principles  from  which  he  builds  up  the 
formal  sciences  (mathematics,  logic,  etc.),  from  experience; 
discusses  the  nature  of  causation,  the  prevalent  confusion  of 
the  notions,  cause  and  reason,  the  problems  of  teleology  and 
free  will,  the  nature  of  the  human  luind,  perceptions,  generali- 
zations, ideas,  and  the  continued  preservation  of  ideas  from 
generation  to  generation,  closing  with  a  discussion  of  the  relig- 
ious problem. 

"Combines  scholarship  and  original  thoitght  with  an  accurate  and  popular 
style  of  writing,  and  the  result  is  a  fascinating  work  upon  what  most  people 
consider  an  unusually  dry  subject." — American  Israelite. 

"The  handiest  and  most  educative,  the  best  and  brightest  discussion  of  such 
problems  as  vex  the  souls  of  philosophers,  accessible  to  English  readers." 

— Amos  Waters  in  IVatts's  Eiterary  Guide. 

"This  little  book  is  the  most  readable  and  lucid  presentation  of  a  system  of 
philosophy  that  I  have  ever  read." — Paper  and  Press. 

"While  not  expressly  designed  for  the  instruction  of  beginners  in  philosophy 
its  text  is  divested  of  much  of  that  abstract  scientific  nomenclature  so  puz- 
zling to  the  uninitiated,  while  the  subject  is  presented  with  such  simplicity 
that  its  leading  idea  is  gathered  at  a  glance." — Harrisburg  Telegram. 

"This  volume  by  one  of  the  deepest  thinkers  and  clearest  writers  of  the  age 
is  worthy  of  careful  consideration  even  by  the  most  conservatively  orthodox 
in  religion  and  philosophy." — Cumberland  Presbyterian. 

"The  Primer  of  Philosophy  is  the  very  best,  if  not  the  only  work,  in  which 
men  and  women  of  the  world,  as  well  as  scholars,  will  be  able  to  find  a 
rational,  correct  and  clear  explanation  of  the  words  and  basic  principles  of

Fundamental  Problems.

Knowledge.  Third  edition,  enlarged  and  revised.  l>y  Dk. 
Paul  Carus.  Pages,  xii,  373.  Cloth,  $1.50.  (7s.  6d.) 
This  hook  is  a  popular  treatment  of  philosophical  topics,  and 
among  them  the  most  important  is  Form  and  Formal  Thongiil, 
pointing  out  the  contrast  between  sensation  and  pure  reason, 
matter  and  the  inter-relation  of  its  component  parts.  It  lays 
the  foundation  for  a  comprehension  of  the  significance  of  Form  ; 
the  arrangement  of  the  order  of  natmx',  the  laws  of  nature  and 
all  that  is  implied  thereby,  the  nature  of  spirit,  of  ethics,  of 
ideals,  of  art,  and  also  of  causation  in  general.  Many  of  these 
articles  are  discussions  which  took  place  in  The  Open  Court, 
and  the  appendix  contains  replies  to  critics  of  different  schools, 
among  them  agnostics,  dogmatists,  mystics,  materialists,  and 
others. 

"Reverent,  elevated,  and  comprehensive.  .  .  The  book  is  of  most  excellent 
spirit  and  of  great  ability." — Public  Opinion.

PHILOSOPHY  (Con.) 
The  Surd  of  Metaphysics. 

All  hiquiry  into  the  yucstiou  Arc  Tlicrc  Thiiii^s-In-Thcm- 
sclvcsf  by  Dr.  Paul  Carus.  I'JO.'^.  l'ai;cs.  vi.  Hi.  75  cents 
net.      (3s.  Od.  net.) 

This  book  is  not  mclaf^hysical,  but  aitli>nctapliy'Siial.  The  idea 
that  science  and  philosophy  are  contrasts  still  prevails  in  many 
circles,  even  among-  advanced  thinkers,  and  the  claim  is  frc- 
(|neiitly  made  that  philosophy  leaves  a  surd,  some  irreducible 
element  analogous  to  the  irrational  in  mathematics.  Dr.  Carus 
stands  for  the  oi)posite  view.  He  believes  in  the  efficiency  of 
science  and  to  him  the  true  philosophy  is  the  philosophy  of 
science.  Now  it  is  true  that  certain  methods  of  logic  are  insuf- 
ficient to  reduce  our  experiences  to  rational  concepts,  and 
science  in  general  is  limited  in  its  various  branches  to  the 
methods  employed,  but  there  is  no  need  of  assuming,  for  that 
reason,  that  the  surd  in  the  intellectual  realm  possesses  any  real 
objective  value,  and  would  render  philosophy  ultimately  meta- 
physical or  mystical. 

The  present  volume  investigates  the  nature  of  this  surd  of 
metaphysics,  which  so  far  has  proved  the  greatest  stumbling 
block  of  philosophy  to  scientists.  It  looms  up  in  Kant's  phil- 
osophy as  the  "thing-in-itself,"  and  is  still  adhered  to  in  some 
form  or  another  by  many  prominent  thinkers  of  the  present  day. 
The  author's  intention  is  to  establish  philosophy  as  a  science, 
and  so  he  endeavors  to  make  it  the  science  of  the  sciences.  He 
discusses  in  the  present  volume  the  significance  which  this 
mysterious  element  has  played  in  the  realm  of  thought,  and 
propounds  his  own  views  in  contradiction  to  those  of  Deussen, 
Jodl,  Mach  and  Max  Miiller. 

The  aim  of  the  book  is  to  liberate  philosophy  of  the  surd  which, 
in  the  days  of  metaphysicism,  has  clung  to  it  and  prevented  its 
development  into  a  philosophy  of  science.  But  the  change 
was  felt  even  a  century  ago  by  the  prophetic  poet,  Friederich 
Schiller,  who,  though  an  admirer  and  even  a  disciple  of  Kant, 
was  impressed  wnth  the  redundancy  of  the  "t!iiiig-in-itsc!f"  in 
philosophv,  and  so  he  wTOte  the  following  satirical  distich : 

"Since  Metaphj'sics  of  late 

Without  heirs  to  her  fathers  was  gathered, 
Here  at  the  auctioneer's   are 

'Things-in-themselves'  to  be   sold." 
"Filled  with  clear,  wholesome,  strong,  intellectual  food." — lUiity. 
"A  well  prepared  work  for  the  student  of  philosophy.     The  logic,  in  the  main 
is  strong  and  convincing,  and  Dr.   Carus's  views  are  ably  presented  and   de- 
fended."— Bookseller,  Newsdealer  and  Stationer. 

"Dr.  Carus  stands  for  man's  deliberate  correspondence  with  the  forces  of 
evolution,  and  sees  in  his  creative  power,  his  practical  achievements,  his  addi- 
tion to  usable  thought,  and  in  his  hands'  work,  his  true  significance."

PHILOSOPHY  (Con.) 

Kant's  Prolegomena  to  Any  Future  Metaphysic. 

Edited  in  Ei^qiish  l)y  Dr.  Paul  Carus.  With  much  supple- 
mentary material  for  the  study  of  Kant ;  Portraits,  i'aulsen's 
chronology  of  Kant,  etc.  Pages,  301.  Cloth,  7h  cents  net. 
(3s.  6d.  net.) 

Convinced  of  the  significance  of  Kant's  Prolegomena,  Dr. 
Carus  olfers  a  new  translation  of  this  most  important  Kantian 
pam|)hlet,  which  is  practically  an  ex])lanation  of  Kant  himself, 
setting  forth  the  intention  of  his  Critique  of  Pure  Reason.  Dr. 
Carus  believes  that  Kant  has  formulated  the  problem  of  phil- 
osophy correctly,  but  that  he  has  not  succeeded  with  its  solu- 
tion. Pointing  out  the  errors  of  Kant,  which  consist  in  the 
looseness  of  the  use  of  certain  terms,  especially  the  words 
"experience"  and  "ideal,"  he  builds  up  his  own  philoso])hy, 
which  is,  to  characterize  it  in  a  word,  the  philosophy  of  science 
based  on  experience,  observation  and  experiment. 

"I  am  very  much  pleased  with  Kant's  Prolcgoincna,  and  shall  make  use  of  the 
hook  with  a  class  of  about  sixty  students  some  time  after  Easter.  It  is,  by 
all  odds,  the  best  book  through   which  to  appreciate  Kant's  system." 

— George  Duncan,  Professor  in  Yale  University. 

"A  new  translation  which  has  some  advantages  of  lucidity  over  the  older 
Enghsh  versions  made  when  Kant's  hard  terminology  had  been  less  thor- 
oughly mastered  by  scholars  than  it  now  is.  .  .  It  forms  an  admirable 
introduction  to  the  writings  of  the  founder  of  modern  transcendentalism,  and 
will  prove  welcome  to  students  on  both  sides  of  the  Atlantic." — Ttie  Scotsman.

and  the  Author's  Reply. 

Herbert   Spencer  strangely  misinterpreted    Kant  and   distorted 
his  views  beyond  recognition.     The  present  book  is  a  vindica- 
tion of  Kant  and  a  criticism  of  Mr.   Spencer's  philosophy,  as 
well  as  of  the  theory  of  agnosticism  in  general.

"Dr.   Carus  certainly   convicts   Mr.    Spencer   of   failing   to   understand   Kant, 
and  makes   a  positive   contribution   to    the   broader  understanding   of   Kant's 
doctrine  of  evolution,  as  well  as  to  his  general  philosophical  significance." 

— Presbyterian  and  Reformed  Revieie. 
"The  reader  will  tind  something  helpful  towards  the  understanding  of  Kant 
in  this  little  volume.  Dr.  Carus  is  a  writer  who  is  always  interesting,  because 
he  knows  what  he  wants  to  say  and  how  to  say  it  most  directly  and  plainly."

Our  Children. 

Hints  from  Practical  l'!x])cricncc  for  Parents  and  Teachers. 
By  Paul  Cakus.    i'ajJ^cs,  207.    $1.00  net.    (4s.  6d.  net.) 

In  the  little  book  Our  CJiildrcn,  Dr.  Cams  offers  a  uni(jne  con- 
tribution to  pedagos^ical  literatnre.  Withont  any  theoretical 
pretensions  it  is  a  strong-  defense  for  the  rights  of  the  child, 
dealing  with  the  responsibilities  of  parenthood,  and  with  the 
first  inculcation  of  fundamental  ethics  in  the  child  mind  and 
the  true  principles  of  correction  and  guidance.  Each  detail 
is  forcefully  illustrated  by  informal  incidents  from  the  author's 
experience  with  his  own  children,  and  his  suggestions  will 
prove  of  great  value  to  young  parents  and  kindergartners. 
Plints  as  to  the  first  acquaintance  with  all  branches  of  knowl- 
edge are  touched  upon — mathematics,  natural  science,  foreign 
languages,  etc. — and  practical  wisdom  in  regard  to  the  treat- 
ment of  money,  hygiene,  and  similar  problems. 

"Brightly  written,  broad-minded,  instructive,  this  book  deserves  serious 
perusal  and  praise." — Chicago  Rccord-Hcrald. 

"Our  Children  has  a  value  which  it  is  difficult  to  exaggerate.  The  strong 
common  sense  of  the  book  as  a  whole  can  better  be  judged  from  an  extract 
than  from  any  praise  of  it,  however  particularized.  .  .  It  is  difficult  to 
conceive  of  anything  coming  up  in  relation  of  parent  or  teacher  to  a  child 
which  does  not  find  discussion  or  suggestion  in  this  compact  and  helpful 
little  book.  It  will  be  an  aid  to  parents  and  teachers  everywhere — an  educa- 
tion for  them  no  less  than  for  the  child." — Chicago  Daily  News. 

"We  feel  certain  that  any  parent  who  thoughtfully  reads  and  studies  this 
book  will  be  richly  paid,  and  if  the  readers  be  parents  with  growing  children 
they  will  keep  the  book  liy  them  for  frequent  consultation,  not  for  iron  rules, 
but  for  sympathetic  suggestion." — Commercial  Nezvs,  Danville,  III. 

"From  my  own  personal  point  of  view  I  can  only  welcome  this  volume  in  our 
pedagogical  literature  and  express  the  hope  that  it  may  become  a  household 
fiook  in  the  library  of  evcrv  parent  and  teacher." — M.  P.  E.  Groszmanii,  Ph.  D., 
Director  of  Groszmann  School  for  Nervous  Children. 

"The  book  is  delightful  and  most  helpful.  I  read  it  with  much  pleasure  and 
profit,  then  re-read  most  of  it  aloud  to  my  husband.  The  suggestions  for  disci- 
pline were  exactly  what  I  needed  for  our  second  boy ;  he  had  always  been  a 
great  problem,  but  I  was  too  stupid  and  possibly  too  near  to  him  to  solve  it 
for  myself.  The  chapter  on  'The  Naughty  Child'  seems  to  have  done  this, 
and  I  feel  as  if  a  wonderful  thing  had  happened.  .  .  Our  neighborhood 
club  of  women,  mothers  of  51  children,  are  reading  Our  Children,  a  chapter 
at  a  time,  at  club  meetings  and  finding  it  so  helpful.  It  is  such  i^ood  sense." 
—E.viracts  from  letters  from  a  young  mother  in  OklaJioma. 

"Little  things  are  recommended  that  will  appeal  to  the  child's  understanding 
and  add  to  his  interest  in  his  work." — Cleveland  Plain  Dealer. 

"Its  author  has  given  to  the  world  a  careful,  loving,  thoughtful  set  of  ndes 
which  mav  be  used  with  profit  m  the  bringing  up  of  the  vount;-."

The  Nature  of  the  State. 

By  Dr.  Paul  Carus.  Cloth,  50  cents  net.  (2s.  6d.  net.) 
The  Nature  of  the  State  is  a  small  treatise,  conveying  a  great 
truth,  throwing  light  not  only  on  the  character  of  communal 
life,  but  also  on  the  nature  of  man's  soul.  It  proves  the  sig- 
nificance of  the  social  interrelations,  and  refutes  the  errors 
of  individualism.  It  contains  chapters  with  the  following  titles : 
Does  the  State  Exist?  Was  the  Individual  Prior  to  Society? 
The  State  a  Product  of  Natural  Growth  ;  The  Authority  of  the 
State  and  the  Right  to  Revolution  ;  The  Modern  State  Based 
on  Revolution  ;  Treason  and  Reform. 

"A  timely  aid  to  dissipate  error  and  help  to  the  realization  of  the  genuine 
meaning  of  the  state.  Dr.  Carus  has  treated  the  matter  in  a  masterly  and 
convincing  way." — The  Call,  San  Franciseo. 

"As  full  of  reason  as  an  tgg  is  of  meat." — Wade's  Fibre  and  Fabric.

nc.q-inninj;-  with  pre-historic  Dcvil-worshi]:)  and  the  adoration  of 
demon  oods  and  monster  divinities,  the  author  surveys  the 
heliefs  of  the  Summero-Accadians.  the  Persians,  the  Jews,  the 
ISrahmans,  the  Puiddhists,  the  early  Christians  and  the  Teutonic 
nations.  He  then  passes  to  the  demonology  of  the  Middle  Ages, 
the  Reformation,  and  Modern  times,  discussing  the  hicjuisition, 
witchcraft,  and  the  history  of  the  Devil  in  verse  and  fahle.  The 
])rol)lem  of  evil  is  thus  treated  in  its  historical  phase,  but 
the  main  purport  of  the  book  is  philosophical.  ])ointing  out  that 
the  contrasts,  good  and  evil,  are  the  realities  of  life,  and  so 
the  ideas,  God  and  Satan,  stand  for  actual  facts.  Though  there 
is  no  Devil  with  horns  and  hoofs,  as  represented  in  Mediaeval 
folklore,  he  is  a  real  presence  in  the  life  of  man  which  has  to 
be  reckoned  with. 

"It  is  seldom  that  a  more  intensely  absorbing  study  of  tills  kind  has  been 
made,  and  it  can  be  safely  asserted  that  the  subject  has  never  before  been  so 
comprehensively  treated.  .  .  Neither  public  nor  private  librarian  can  afford 
to  be  without  this  book,  for  it  is  a  well  of  information  upon  a  subject 
fascinating  to  both  students  and  casual  readers." — Chicago  Israelite. 

"The  work  is  a  triumph  of  the  printers'  art,  having  more  than  300  illustra- 
tions of  the  rarest  and  most  curious  religious  deities,  good  and  bad.  For  an 
interesting  and  instructive  volume  on  demonology.  Dr.  Paul  Carus's  work 
surpasses  anything  we  have  ever  seen."  — Pacific  Medical  Journal. 

"The  author  has  shown  great  diligence  in  gathering  illustrative  material,  and 
it  is  doubtful  if  any  such  collection  of  ancient  and  modern,  quaint  and  curious, 
picturesque  and  frightful  pictures  relative  to  the  subject  has  been  before 
offered  to  English  readers." — The  Dial. 

"We  have  several  hours'  reading  here,  and  it  is  made  the  pleasanter  by  a 
profusion  of  gruesome  pictures — pictures  of  the  Devil  in  all  his  shapes  and  of 
the  Devil's  wonderful  ways  with  his  victims  and.  votaries.  The  book  as  a

In  this  book  Dr.  Cams  upholds  the  divinity  of  man  from  the

the  relics  of  ])rimitive  man,  especially  the  Neanderthal  man  and 
the  ape-man  of  DuBois,  and  concludes  with  a  protest  against 
Huxley,  claiming  that  man  has  risen  to  a  higher  level  not  by 
ctmning  and  ferocit}-,  but  on  the  contrary  by  virtue  of  his  nobler 
qualities.

Dr.  Cams  contends  that  Samson's  prototype  is  to  be  found  in 
those  traditions  of  all  primitive  historical  peoples  which  relate 
to  a  solar  deity.     He  believes  that  genuine  tradition,  no  matter 
how  mythological,  is  more  conservative  than  is  at  first  apparent. 
Thougli  the  biblical  account  of  Samson's  deeds,  like  the  twelve 
labors  of  Heracles,  is  the  echo  of  an  ancient  solar  epic  which 
glorifies  the  deeds   of  Shamash  in  his  migration  through  the 
twelve  signs  of  the  zodiac,  there  may  have  been  a  Hebrew  hero 
whose  deeds  reminded  the   Israelites  of  •Shamash,  and  so  his 
adventures  were  told  with  modifications  which  naturally  made 
the  solar  legends  cluster  about  his  personality.     References  are 
fully  given,  authorities   quoted  and  comparisons  are  carefully 
drawn  between  Samson  on  the  one  hand,  and  Heracles,  Sha- 
mash,  Melkarth   and   Siegfried   on   the.  other.     The   appendix 
contains   a   controversy  between   Mr.   Geo.  W.   Shaw   and  the 
author  in  which  is  discussed  at  some  length  the  relation  between 
myth  and  history.

character   of   the  story  as   a   sun-myth.     The  view   is  not   new,  but   is  more

An  Tnqniry  Into  the  Nature  of  the  Soul,  Its  Origin  and  Destiny. 
P>y  Dk.  Paul  Cakus.  Pages  viii,  218.  Price,  cloth,  7.3  cents

This  little  book  treats  of  the  central  problems  of  all  religion  : 
the  nature  of  the  ego;  the  origin,  development,  and  destiny  of 
the  human  personality ;  spiritual  heredity ;  the  dissolution  o! 
the  body  and  the  preservation  of  the  soul ;  the  nature  of  human 
imiuortality ;  mankind's  ideals  ;  the  rational  basis  of  ethics,  etc., 
all  from  the  standpoint  of  modern  psychology  and  biology.  It 
teaches  an  immortality  consisting  in  the  survival  of  our  ideas 
and  aspirations  which  are  the  quintessence  of  our  very  soul. 
The  author  takes  pains  to  prove  that  this  is  a  true  Immortality 
and  not  luere  fiction.  All  doctrines  of  immortality  taught  in 
allegorv  or  symbol  are  but  makeshifts  to  express  for  people 
untrained  in  philosojihical  thought  this  grandest  of  all  religious 
truths.

The  Dawn  of  a  New  Religious  Era. 

\\\  i)K.  Paul  Cakus.  I'aj^cs,  vi,  145.  Cloth,  30  cents  net. 
(is.  Od.  net.) 

Dr.  Cartis  gave  ii])  the  rehj^ious  conviction  which  had  l)econie 
dear  to  him  in  his  youth  hecause  he  found  it  untenable  under 
the  strain  of  scientiiic  criti(|uc.  lie  first  niocUfied  his  fiiith,  and 
finally  surrendered  everything  that  could  be  tlefended  only 
b\-  the  claim  of  tradition,  si)ecial  revelation,  or  belief  in  author- 
ity, but  thereby  he  reached  the  bottom  rock  and  built  up  a  new 
faith  on  the  eternal  truths  that  can  be  proved  b\  science,  anrl 
are  verifiable  in  our  daily  ex])erience.  This  is  the  constructive 
part  of  his  work,  which  makes  him  the  most  conservative  of 
radicals.  He  is  vigorously  opposed  to  agnosticism  and  all 
equivocation  as  well  as  indifference,  building  up  a  new  ortho- 
doxy of  scientifically  tenable  truths.  The  new  era  of  the  relig- 
ion of  the  future,  which  is  vividly  described  in  this  pamphlet, 
has  its  dawn  in  the  spirit  that  made  the  Religious  Parliament 
possible.  This  little  volume  contains  a  critical  analysis  of  Prof. 
Romanes'  "Thoughts  on  Religion,"  discussing  tiie  reasons  for 
his  reconversion  to  Christianity  shortly  before  his  death. 

The  Religion  of  Science. 

By  Dr.  Paul  Cakus.  Pages  vi,  145.  Cloth,  50  cents  net. 
(2s.  6d.) 

Religion,  in  order  to  be  stable  and  vital,  must  be  able  to  stand 

the  test  of  scientific  critique.     That  religion  alone   fulfills  all 

demands   which    contains    no   presumptions    incongruous    with 

science,  and  is  warranted  by  the  verified  truths  of  science.     The 

present   volume   is   an   attempt   to   outline   the   doctrines   of   a 

religious  conviction  which  is  not  merely  based  on  belief,  and 

whose  ideas  of  God,  soul,  immortality,  together  with  its  moral 

aspirations  are  tenable  before  the  tribunal  of  science. 

"The  best  and  briefest  possible  popular   exposition   of  the   scientific   attitude 

towards  tlie  religious  sentiment  that  we  have  read." — Nczv  England  Mima::inc. 

"  'The  Religion  of  Science'  is,  in  its  way,  a  masterpiece.     Its  author  is  unique, 

interesting  and  suggestive  as  a  thinker.     We  may  not,  we  do  not,  agree  with 

his  conchisions,  but  we  admire  his  force,  originalit}'  and  independence." 

• — Boston  Daily  Traveler. 
"It  is  one  of  those  helpful  books  which,  instead  of  repudiating  man's  part, 
sneering  at  his  religious  history,  and  with  grotesque  and  narrow  bigotry 
more  intolerable  than  that  which  it  scorns,  renouncing  the  hard-earned 
wealth  of  human  experience  and  striving  and  martyrdoms,  rather  enters  joy- 
fully into  the  spirit  of  that  past  and  learning  its  wisdom  goes  forward  in 
the  strength  of  it  to  new  positions  of  security  and  enlightenment." 

— Rev.  Robert  D.  Toivnc. 
"With  much  that  he  says  we  fully  agree,  and  we  respect  the  moral  earnestness 
with  which  he  discusses  the  problems  of  life  and  duty.  .  .  We  have  read 
his  book  with  interest,  and  we  cordially  echo  the  sentiment  he  expresses  that 
'blessed  is  he  who  trusts  in  the  truth,  who  hearkens  to  its  behests,  and  leads 
a  life  in  which  obedience  to  truth  is  exemplified.' " — Science.

This  is  a  collection  of  short  sermons  from  the  standpoint  of  a

"Many  of  these  articles  might  appear  without  criticism  in  the  most  orthodox

Righteousness,'  might  be  read  from  any  Christian  pulpit  as  a  sermon,  while 
the  papers  on  'Sexual  Ethics,'  'Monogamy  and  Free  Love,'  and  'Morality  and 
Virtue'  will  astonish  the  very  large  class  who  nmagine  that  rejection  of 
dogma  tends  to  subversion  of  morals.  This  is  a  good  book  for  those  who 
want  to  know  what  unbelievers  really  believe." — Book  News. 

"What  Dr.  Cams  says  on  ethical  subjects,  though  containing  nothing  particu- 
larly new,  will  lind  an  echo  in  the  hearts  of  good  men  of  every  creed.  He  is 
wholly  uninfected  with  the  socialistic  heresies  now  so  widely  prevalent,  and  he 
sternly  rebukes  those  free-thinkers  who  regard  morality  with  indifference, 
and  scoff  at  its  reciuirements.  .  .  As  an  example  of  existing  tendencies,  as 
well  as  by  its  moral  earnestness,  this  book  will  interest  the  reader." — Science. 

"It  has  all  the  genuine  life  and  spirit  of  Christianity,  but  is  free  from  the 
dogmatic  theology  which  is  a  stumbling  l)lock  to  so  man}'  intelligent  believers. 
.  .  ]*'vcry  one  who  is  interested  in  the  great  problems  of  life,  death  and 
immortality  should  read  this  volume  and  ponder  over  its  practical  suggestions." 

— Daily  Herald,  Norristuzvn,  Pa. 

"It  is  always  a  pleasure  to  read  the  utterances  of  the  author  of  this  book  when 
religion  and  morality  are  under  consideration.  He  is  so  frank  in  stating  his 
own  views  and  so  utterly  free  from  harshness  or  uncharitableness  in  stating 
his  opposition  to  the  views  of  others,  as  to  be  able  to  carry  an}^  reader  along 
without  personal  irritation.  .  .  We  are  attracted  by  the  strong  moral  and 
spiritual  tone  in  the  book,  and  find  a  reverence  and  devotion  here  for  things 
of  the  spirit  which  do  not  exist  in  some  of  our  so-called  religious  writers. 
.     .     It  will  stir  many  a  soul  to  a  higher  life." — Public  Opinion. 

"WHiile  these  essays  are  opposed  to  some  of  the  teachings  of  dogmatic 
Christianity,  they  are  full  of  the  spirit  of  the  highest  Christian  morality 
and  are  not  in  any  true  sense  antagonistic  to  religions  faith.  They  are 
constructive  rather  than   destructive." — Review  of  Rcz'iezus,  New   ]'ork.

The  Chief's  Daughter. 

A  Legend  of  Niagara.  By  Dr.  Paul  Carus.  Illustrations 
by  EnuARD  Biedkkmann.  A  story  in  neat,  small  octavo.  Seven 
photogravures.  Thirteen  pen-and-ink  and  half-tone  illustrations.

in  large,  clear  type.  Bound  in  cloth.  Pages,  54.  $1.00  net. 
(4s.  6"d.  net). 

The  fascinating  Indian  legend  of  the  annual  sacrifice  to  the 
waters  of  Niagara  of  a  beautiful  maiden  has  been  made  in  this 
story  the  basis  of  a  tale  of  religious  development  and  emancipa- 
tion, which  freed  the  Indian  tribe  of  the  Oniahgahrahs  from  the 
thrall  of  a  cruel  superstition,  though  without  dishonor  to  their 
consciences  and  sacred  traditions.  The  -scene  is  laid  in  the  time 
of  the  French  exploration  of  the  North  and  Middle  West  and 
the  chief  European  role  is  played  by  the  historic  figure  of  Father 
Hennepin. 

"As  a  dainty  and  delicate,  fanciful  and  philosophical  story,  it  is  interesting." 

— Frederick  Starr  in  Unity. 
"A  beautiful  story,  told  in  simple  and  admirably  chosen  language  and  with 
plenty  of  pure  and  ingenious  moralizing  between  the  lines  for  the  reader." 

— Chicago  Record-Herald. 
"Dr.  Carus  tells  the  legend  with  many  pathetically  romantic  incidents,  in 
lucid  and  prettily  adaptable  language,  not  a  word  but  conveys  a  direct  and 
harmonious  meaning.  There's  a  touch  of  exalted  moralizing  in  the  story, 
the  kind  that  appeals   to  the  heart  as  well  as  to  the  intellect." — Exchange.

(3s.  6d.  net.) 

"The  Crown  of  Thorns'*  is  a  story  of  the  time  of  Christ.  It  is 
fiction  of  the  character  of  legend,  utilizing  materials  preserved 
in  both  the  canonical  scriptures  and  the  Apocryphal  traditions, 
but-  giving  preference  to  the  former.  The  hopes  and  beliefs  of 
the  main  personalities,  however,  can  throughout  be  verified  by 
documentary  evidence.  The  religious  milieu  is  strictly  historical. 
and  is  designed  to  show  the  w^ay  in  which  Christianity  developed 
from  Judaism  through  the  Messianic  hopes  of  the  Nazarenes  as 
interpreted  by  the  Apostle  Paul  of  Tarsus. 

"A    beautifully    written,    well-illustrated    and    entertaining    little    book." 

— The  Bookworm. 

"Though  a  short  story  it  is  one  of  singular  charm  and  power.  As  a  whole 
it  is  a  capital  instance  of  how  legitimately  and  effectively  for  the  particular 
purpose  in  view  the  imagination  may  cooperate  with  the  historic  spirit. 
The  mood  of  the  story  is  pervaded  by  a  sentiment  of  exceeding  delicacy 
and   reverence.     .     .     There  is   not  one   false  note   in   it."

folk-lore.  Pages,  xv,  108.  Price,  $1.50  net.  (6s.  net.) 
This  ancient  (ireek  fairy  story  incorporates  the  primitive  religion 
of  a  prehistoric  age  teaching  the  immortality  of  the  soul  in  the 
shape  of  a  myth.  Dr.  Carus  has  brought  out  this  feature  in 
retelling  the  story  after  Apuleius,  the  sole  author  through  whom 
it  has  been  preserved. 

"Dr.  Cams  has  brought  out  the  religions  and  philf isopliical  Icihih'li:'  with 
more  emphasis  tlian  it  possesses  in  the  original.  By  obliterating  the  tlipi)int 
and  satirical  tone  of  the  Greek  writer  and  adding  a  few  skillful  touches 
where  the  real  significance  of  the  tale  lies,  he  has  made  a  stor_v  capable  of 
giving  religious  comfort  and  at  the  same  time  of  delighting  the  ethical 
and    artistic    sense." — Chicago    Tribune. 

"Dr.  Carus  is  master  of  a  clear  flowing  English  style,  and  tells  in  a  graceful 
manner  this   ancient   story  of  love   and  adventure." — Dominion   I'rcsbytcria)!. 

"The  Greek  tone  as  well  as  the  Greek  name  of  the  god  is  sustained  in  this

Thumann.'' — Outlook. 

"Lovers  of  the  bcautifid  in  mythology  and  in  the  book-maker's  art,  will  be 
enraptured  crver  this  charming  little  book.  The  chaste  and  classical  design 
on  the  front  cover  is  in  keeping,  with  the  high  art  ideal  maintained  through- 
out. The  story  itself  is  made  more  attractive  than  ever  by  Dr.  Carus's 
discriminating   explanation    of    its    origin    and    syinbolism." — Baptist    Union.

1907.     50  cents  net.     (2s.  6d.  net.) 

A  satire  to  disprove  agnosticism  and  hedonism.  It  ridicules 
the  proposition  that  the  main  philosophical  problems  are 
unsolvable  and  shows  in  practical  instances  that  the  greatest 
happiness  of  the  greatest  number  is  by  no  means  ahvays  desira- 
ble, still  less  a  test  of  moral  conduct.  These  propositions  are  not 
discussed,  but  elucidated  in  a  story  containing  a  series  of 
humorous  events  leading  up  to  the  martyr  death  of  the  hero 
wdio  gallantly  submits  to  his  fate  among  the  cannibals  in  faith- 
ful adhesion  to  his  hedonistic  philosophy.

specimens  of  his  poetry  in  German  and  English  translations,  makes  this 
volume   to   the   Schiller   lover   a   very   attractive   hook." 

— Methodist  Book  ami  I'lihlishiiig  IIoiiSc\  Toronto. 

"Schiller's  philosophical  thought,  his  keen  insight  into  sham  and  pretense, 
and  his  heart-bracing  utterances  for  freedom,  may  indeed  be  made  clear 
to  all;  and  here  Dr.  Cams  has  done  significant  service.  .  .  We  commend 
this   book   heartily." — Christian    Register. 

"This  adequately  illustrated  and  tastefully  bound  volume  by  Dr.  Paul  Cams 
is  an  admirable  memorial  of  the  recent  Schiller  Centenary.  .  In  addition  to  a 
biographical  sketch  we  have  two  thoughtful  essays  by  Dr.  Cams  on  Schiller 
as  a  philosophical  poet  and  on  Schiller's  poetry.  Both  have  well-chosen 
selections  of  considerable  extent,  and  it  was  a  good  idea  to  present  these 
illustrative    excerpts    in    both    German    and    English." — Tlic    Outlook. 

Goethe  and  Schiller's  Xenions. 

Selected  and  translated  b\-  Dr.-  P.\ul  C.\kus.  Printed  in  album 
shape  on  heavy  paper.  Paper  covers.  Pages,  vii,  162.  i'rice, 
50  cents.     (2s.  6d.) 

The  appearance  of  the  Xenions  is  significant  in  the  lives  of  both 
Goethe  and  Schiller.  Each  one  of  them  is  the  product  of  their 
common  activity.  Some  of  them  are  personal  and  satirical, 
while  others  incorporate  in  the  terse  form  of  a  distich  profound 
thoughts  or  far-reaching  moral  principles.  The  latter  class  con- 
taining thoughts  of  enduring  worth  have  been  selected  here  for 
the  sake  of- making  them,  as  they  deserve  to  be,  a  part  of  English 
literature.  They  are  translated  in  the  original  meter  and  with 
the  assistance  of  a  preface  constitute  a  good  introduction  to  the 
methods  of  classical  prosodv. 

The  following  is  an  instance  of  the  satire  directed  against  the 
author's  contemporary  critics : 

"Don't    be   disturbed   by   the   barking; 
Remain  in  your  seats,  for  the  barkers 
Wish  but  to  get  in  your  place. 
There  to  be  barked  at  themselves."

This  is  a  collection  of  short  ])oenis  of  the  author  leflecting  his 
religious  develoi)ment  from  orthodox  Christianity  through  infi- 
delity to  a  new  and  ])ositivc  faith  on  broader,  more  philosoi^hieal 
and  truer  grounds,  x^lost  of  these  poems  were  originally  written

the  same  thoughts  in  the  language  of  his  new  home. 

"This   little  book  of  verse  is  a   spiritual  autobiography.     .     .     It  is  a   surer 
testimony  of  the  certitudes  of  religion  than  tliat  of  tlinse  wlio  never  doubted."

The  religious  convictions  of  Dr.  Paul  Carus  have  found  a 
poetical  embodiment  in  this  collection  which  can  be  used  for 
practical  purposes  in  liberal  churches.  In  addition  to  hymns  of 
a  general  nature,  including  a  new  version  of  "Nearer  My  God 
to  Thee,"  it  also  contains  a  bridal  song  for  marriage  ceremonies, 
and  funeral  anthems. 

"The    spirit    of    the    poems    is    devout.      The    writer    is    sincere    and    lionest. 
There  is  much  that  is  beautiful,  and  true,  and  good."

De  Rerum  Natura. 

Von  Dr.  Paul  Carus.  Pages,  25.  Paper.  Price,  15  cents. 
This  is  the  original  German  text  of  the  foregoing  as  it  first 
appeared  in  the  Philosophischc  MonatsJufte,  XXX,  Nos.  5,  6. 
There  is  a  great  doubt  among  literary  critics  as  to  whether 
philosophical  poetry  is  possible.  Here  is  a  versified  discourse 
with  the  world-problem  as  a  theme.  The  author  takes  the 
title  of  another  poem  of  the  same  general  nature,  written  by 
another  Carus  (Titus  Lucretius).  But  while  the  poet-philoso- 
pher of  the  golden  age  of  Latin  literature  is  ditfuse  and  argu- 
mentative, his  modern  follow-er  is  terse,  and  attempts  only  to 
express  the  thoughts  and  feelings  of  the  science-moulded 
modern  man,  in  contemplation  of  the  Great  All. 

"To  me  your  poem  is  a  song  that  thrills  with  genuine  loftiness  and  grandeur; 
a  romance  recounting  in  rhythmic  cadences  and  in  reverential  spirit  the  tale 
of  the  All-Soul.  It  condemns  nothing  but  that  which  is  out  of  place,  such  as 
ignorance  and  superstition,  etc.,  and  these  are  not  condemned  but  merely 
disproved." — Dr.  T.  T.  Blaise.

CARL  HEINRICH  CORNILL. 

In  PROFESSOR  CORNILL  zee  have  one  of  the  most  scholarly 
professors  of  Old  Testament  Theology,  and  at  the  same  time  a  man 
of  iinnsnal  devotion  and  Christian  piety.  Among  the  higher  critics 
he  is  recognized  as  a  leader,  and  having  attained  his  results  ahnost  in 
spite  of  his  own  preferences,  presents  tlieni  zvith  great  delicacy  and 
-ccith  nnitsual  sympathy  for  the  traditional  interpretation. 
'\ln  accomplished  and  conscientious  scholar,  and  of  a  truly  religious 
spirit." — The  Outlook. 

History  of  the  People  of  Israel. 

From  the  Earliest  Times  to  the  Destruction  of  Jerusalem  by 
the  Romans.  By  Prof.  C.  H.  Cornill,  of  the  University  of 
Breslau,  Germany.  Translated  by  Prof.  W.  H.  Carruth.  Third 
edition.    Pages,  vi,  325.    Cloth,  $1.50.     (7s.  6d.) 

A  fascinating  portrayal  of  Jewish  history  by  one  of  the  fore- 
most of  Old  Testament  scholars.  An  impartial  record.  Com- 
mended by  both  orthodox  and  unorthodox. 

"Many  attempts  have  Iieen  made  since  Old  Testament  criticism  settled  down 
into  a  science,  to  write  the  history  of  Israel  popularly.  And  some  of  these 
attempts  are  highly  meritorious,  especially  Kittel's  and  Kent's.  But  Cornill 
has  been  most  successful.  His  book  is  smallest  and  it  is  easiest  to  read.  He 
has  the  master  faculty  of  seizing  the  essential  and  passing  by  the  accidental. 
His  style  (especially  as  freely  translated  into  English  by  Professor  Carruth 
of  Kansas)  is  pleasing  and  restful.  Nor  is  he  excessively  radical.  If  Isaac 
and  Ishmael  are  races,  Abraham  is  an  individual  still.  And  above  all,  he  has 
a  distinct  heroic  faith  in  the  Divine  mission  of  Israel." — The  Expository  Times. 
"I  am  very  much  pleased  with  the  book.  It  is  written  in  a  taking,  popular 
style,  and  is  at  the  same  time  strictly  scholarly  and  critical.  There  is  in  my 
opinion  no  other  book  in  the  English  language  that  traverses  the  entire 
ground  of  Hebrew  history  so  satisfactorily  within  the  compass  of  a  handy 
volume  as  this  translation  of  Cornill's  book.  I  expect  to  use  it  in  class  as  a 
reference  book  along  with  the  works  of  Kent  and  McCurdy." — Isinar  J. 
Pcritz,  Pit.  D.,  Professor  of  Semitic  Language  and  Archaeology,  Syracuse 
Uiiiz'crsify. 

"The  book  is  beautifully  printed,  with  liberal  margins,  well  indexed,  and 
attractively  bound.  It  is  an  excellent  first  book  in  the  great  history  of  which 
it  treats."— r/;r  Methodist  Reviciv.

"Such  a  clear  apprehension  and  exposition  of  the  doctrines  of  the  prophets

"A  compact  statement  from  the  hand  of  a  master,  and  may  be  recommended 
to  preachers,  Sunday-school  teachers,  and  general  readers  as  a  trustworthy 
and  interesting  exposition." — Christian  Register. 

"With  the  spirit  and  aim  of  the  work  no  fault  can  he  found.  Tt  is  not  an 
argument,  but  an  exposition.  The  aim  is  constructive;  the  tone  is  never  con- 
troversial. Nowhere  else  can  the  English  reader  obtain  in  so  compact  a 
form  the  conclusions  of  the  critical  school  to  which  Prof.  Cornill  belongs. 
Nor  could  that  school  iind  a  more  genial  interpreter."

PROF.  FRANZ  CUMONT. 

PROFESSOR  FRANZ  CUMONTis  professor  in  the  University  of 
Ghent,  and  one  of  the  leaders  of  research  in  the  domain  of  Persian 
archaeology.  He  has  made  a  specialty  of  Mithra,  the  Mithraic  move- 
ments and  the  religious  nioi'ement  of  the  significance  of  which  they 
testify.  Considering  the  fact  that  Mithraism  u'as  once  the  rival  of 
Christianity,  and  further,  that  the  two  faiths  have  a  close  resem- 
blance to  each  other.  Prof.  Cumont's  labors  may  well  be  considered 
as  of  utmost  importance.

"It  is  a  singularly  able  piece  of  work,  which  gathers  together  into  small 
compass  all  that  is  known  of  the  worship  of  Mithra,  the  Iranian  deity  who, 
after  receiving  what  looked  to  be  a  shattering  blow  at  the  downfall  of  the 
Pontic  kingdom  of  Mithridates,  underwent  a  strange  revival_  and  at  one 
period  made  a  serious  bid  for  pre-eminence  in  the  Roman  Empire."

RICHARD  DEDEKIND. 

The  mathematical  reading  public  iiiiacquaiitted  Z'^'ith  German  is 
wider  considerable  obligation  to  Professor  Beman  for  the  present 
faithful  rendering  of  these  tzvo  celebrated  essays  of  Dedekind.  Mod- 
ern logical  I'leics  of  continuity  and  arithmetic  are  largely  based  on 
the  results  which  Dedekind  and  his  contemporary,  G.  Cantor,  fur- 
nished (the  first  of  their  essays  zvas  published  in  i8/j),  a)id  it  is 
good  that  these  investigations  should  be  made  accessible  to  all 
readers  in  their  original  form.  Furthermore,  the  German  of  these 
essays  is  not  easy  reading,  and  the  interpretation  of  the  forms  of 
expression  which  Professor  Beman  has  gii'en  and  which  has  in- 
volved considerable  study,  7<nU  also  be  welcome  to  readers  of  the 
German  orii^inal. 


Essays  on  the  Theory  of  Numbers. 

(1)  Continuity  and  Irrational  Numbers,  (2)  The  Nature 
and  Meaning  of  Numbers.  By  Richard  Dedekind.  From 
the  German  by  W.  W.  Beman.  Pages,  115.  Cloth,  75  cents 
net.     (3s.  6d.  net.) 

These  essays  mark  one  of  the  distinct  stages  in  the  develop- 
ment of  the  theory  of  numbers.  They  give  the  foundation 
upon  which  the  whole  science  of  numbers  may  be  established. 
The  first  can  be  read  without  any  technical,  philosophical  or 
mathematical  knowledge ;  the  second  requires  more  power  of 
abstraction  for  its  perusal,  but  power  of  a  logical  nature  only. 

"A  model  of  clear  and  beautiful  reasoning." — Journal  of  Physical  Chemistry. 

"The  work  of  Dedekind  is  very  fundamental,  and  I  am  glad  to  have  it  in  this 
carefully  wrought  Ejiglish  version.  I  think  the  book  should  be  of  mucli 
service  to  American  mathematicians  and  teachers." 

— Prof.  E.  H.  Moore,  University  of  Chicago. 

"It  is  to  be  hoped  that  the  translation  will  make  the  essays  better  known  to 
English  mathematicians ;  they  are  of  the  very  first  importance,  and  rank  with 
the  work  of  Weierstrass,  Kronecker,  and  Cantor  in  the  same  field." — Nature.

I'hc  first  of  the  Three  Tcclnrcs  made  a  jj;rcat  cdiiiiiiolion  in  Ihc  relig-

presenee  of  the  Ceniian  ILuiperor.  leJio  took  a  _i^reat  interest  in  tlie 
results  of  Babylonian  escalations  as  presented  by  this  prominent 
professor.  A  Hood  of  essays  on  the  same  subject  appeared  as  a  con- 
sequence of  Delit::sch's  Babel  and  Bible,  partly  in  support  and  partly 
in  criticism  of  his  position,  and  the  stnii:;i:;le  about  this  mooted  sub- 
ject constitutes  a  m(Kst  interestini^-  phase  in  the  development  of  re- 
lii^ious  thoiiyjit.  The  edition  published  by  the  Open  Court  Tublish- 
ini::;  Company  is  the  only  Ilni^lisJi  translation  that  contains  the  three 
lectures  complete,  toi^etlier  Ti.'////  a  sur'T'cy  of  Babel  and  Bible  litera- 
ture, and  a  translation  of  the  Rmperor's  letter.  The  freshness  of 
Delitrjsch's  style,  the  controz'crsial  tone,  the  7'ifidness  of  description, 
the  contrast  bef-iCeen  the  author's  adi'crsaries  and  himself, — all  this 
adds  a  peculiar  .cest  to  the  presentation  of  the  remarkably  interest- 
ino;  facts  lAiich  are  a  revelation  to  many  unacquainted  with  the  re- 
sults of  modern  excavations.

no  better  reference  work  could  be  suggested  than  this  timely  book  of  Professor 
Delitzsch's." — Hartford  Scuiinary  Record. 

"A  good  instance  of  the  way  in  which  conclusions  of  scholarly  research  may 
be  put  into  popular  and  readable  form  without  impairing  their  interest  for 
scholars.  In  compact  form  is  here  presented  much  that  is  of  value  in  showing 
the  indebtedness  of  the  Hebrew  writers  to  Babylonian  civilization  and  litera- 
ture."— The  Outlook. 

"Has  stirred  up  much  excitement  among  the  people  who  have  hitherto  paid 
little  attention  to  the  mass  of  information  which  the  recently  discovered

and  of  the  ideas  of  the  Bible." — Biblical  ITorld.

moted by  C.  S.  Peircc  and  Professor  Schroder.  Pedagogical  sug- 
gestions abound  in  his  writings.  For  instance,  it  is  little  knoivn  that 
he  advocated  tlie  method,  only  recently  introduced  in  our  schools,  of 
teaching  children  to  read  English  by  complete  ivords  to  partially 
do  away  with  the  difficulties  of  inconsistent  spelling.

mathematics,  lie  claimed  that  the  first  task  of  philosophy  is  an-

Since  llw  (lays  of  Dani'iii  no  one  ainonj^-  naturalists  Jias  found  such 
a  universal  recoj^nition  of  prime  consequence  as  has  de  I'ries  i<nth 
his  nezv  interpretation  of  the  doctrine  of  evolution  as  it  appears  in 
his  books  on  the  nnilatioii  theory.  'rhou;^li  his  puhlieati())is  are  still 
recent  there  is  a  unanimous  consent  eoncerninj^  tlieir  importance, 
and  ei'cn  Ins  adz'crsarii's  recoj^ni.-je  their  paramount  si;^nitieance. 
The  belief  has  prevailed  for  more  than  half  a  century  that  species 
arc  changed  into  nev  types  I'cry  slozvly  and  that  thousands  of  years 
ivcre  necessary  for  the  dcvelopinent  of  a  neiv  species  of  animal  or

Fries  has  ascertained  that  ne:^'  species  may  orignatc  bv  "mutation" 
that  is  to  say,  suddenly,  by  jumps.  In  conjunction  z<.'ith  this  dis- 
coz'ery  he  offers  an  e.vplaiiafion  of  tlie  qualities  of  living  organisms 
on  the  basis  of  the  conception  of  unit-characters.  The  announce- 
ment of  the  results  in  question  has  excited  more  interest  among 
naturalists  than  any.  publication  since  ilie  appearance  of  Darzvin's 
Origin  of  Species,  and  marks  the  beginning  of  a  nezv  cpocli  in  the 
history  of  evolution.

A  scientific  book  in  simple  language.  Intensely  interesting  as

culturist and  farmer. 

"One  of  the  most  interesting  volnmes  of  the  year  for  specnlative  seience." 

—The  Dial. 
"The  book  is  full  of  valuable  information  for  the  live  farmer,  the  gardener, 
nursery-man,  or  seed-grower,  as  well  as  for  the  student  of  evolution  and  the 
lover  of  plants." — Literary  Digest. 

"The  subject  is  fascinating  and  the  treatment  given  it  by  Prof,  de  Vries  is 
adequate.  It  is  technical,  to  be  sure,  but  of  a  technicality  that  is  not  above 
the  comprehension  of  the  most  unlearned  reader.  The  admirable  photo- 
graphic illustrations  give  point  to  the  text.  To  any  one  who  is  at  all  inter-

The  contents  of  the  book  inchule  a  readable  and  orderly  reci- 
tal of  the  facts  and  details  which  furnish  the  basis  for  the 
mutation-theory  of  the  origin  of  species.  The  more  reliable 
historical  data  are  cited  and  the  results  obtained  by  Professor 
de  Vries  in  the  Botanical  Garden  at  Amsterdam  during  the 
twenty  years  of  observations  are  described.  Xot  the  least 
important  service  rendered  by  Professor  de  N'ries  in  the  prep- 
aration of  these  lectures  consists  in  the  indication  of  definite 
specific  problems  that  need  investigation,  many  of  which  may 
be  profitably  taken  up  by  any  one  in  a  small  garden.  He  has 
rescued  the  subject  of  evolution  from  the  thrall  of  polemics 
and  brought  it  once  more  within  reach  of  the  great  mass  of 
naturalists,  any  one  of  whom  may  reasonably  hope  to  contrib- 
ute something  to  its  advancement  by  orderly  observations. 

"•It  is  evident  that  the  new  theory  of  mutations  must  be  recognized  in  all  dis- 
cussions of  questions  as  to  origin  and  development.  P'or  instance,  if  the 
empirical  view  of  consciousness  be  taken,  why  should  it  not  be  quite  possiljle 
that  this  has  appeared  in  the  phylogenetic  development  of  certain  species  as  a 
mutation?  And  what  becomes  of  those  arguments  for  design  which  have 
been  based  on  adaptation  by  slow  accumulative  changes  ?  Evidently  the  work 
of  De  Vries  may  well  prove  to  be  an  epoch-making  contribution  to  the  advance 
of  knowledge.  It  makes  the  study  of  evolution  in  part  experimental,  modifies 
the  current  views  as  to  origin,  selection  and  adaptation,  and  finds  a  place 
for  non-heredity  and  discontinuity,  for  chance  and  irregularity." 

— Edzvar'd  G.  Spaulding  in  The  Philosophical  Review. 

"There  is  no  need  to  commend  the  book.  It  is  indispensable,  inasmuch  as  it 
is  the  only  available  account  of  Prof,  de  Vries's  work  in  English,  so  far."

AIR.  EDMUNDS  is  thoroui^hly  coiizrrsaiit  icith  Pali  literature 
as  zvcll  as  New  Testament  eritieisiii.  lie  is  a  member  of  the  Orien- 
tal Society,  of  Philadelphia,  Honorary  member  and  Ameriean  Rep- 
resentative of  the  International  Buddhist  Society  of  Raui^oon.  and 
is  a  translator  of  I'arious  Ihuldhist  sacred  writiui^s  front  the  Pali.

allels from  Pali  Texts"  reprinted  with  Additions.  By 
Albert  J.  Edmunds.  Third  edition.  Edited  with  parallels 
and  notes  from  the  Chinese  Buddhist  Tripitaka  by  M.  An- 
ESAKi.     Pages,  xiii,  230.     Price  $1.50  net. 

The  most  remarkable  feature  of  this  work  is  the  fact  that  all 
jNIr.  Edmunds's  translations  from  the  Pali  have  been  com- 
pared with  Chinese  versions  of  the  early  Christian  centuries 
by  his  Japanese  editor,  M.  Anesaki,  Professor  of  Comparative 
Religion  at  Tokyo,  who  has  a  thorough  command  of  the 
Chinese  sacred  books  of  Buddhism.  The  book  contains  eighty- 
eight  parallels  from  the  canonical  Scriptures  and  an  appendix 
of  uncanonical  parallels,  such  as  the  Wandering  Jew.  Many 
are  here  unearthed  for  the  first  time.  P^our  parallels  are  verbal 
agreements,  the  majority  being  in  ideas  alone.  The  book  is 
printed  in  Japan  under  extraordinary  difficulties  and  is  the 
pioneer  work  for  further  labors  in  the  same  direction. 

"In  all  respects  this  work  has  been  well  done.  It  is  characterized  throughout 
by  becoming  seriousness,  by  exact  scholarship,  and  by  broad  culture ;  and  the 
clearness  and  beauty  of  the  page  do  great  credit  to  the  Yuhokwan  Publishing 
House,  Tokyo,  by  whom  the  book  was  issued." 

— The  Princeton  Theological  Rcviciv. 
"This  bookful  of  parallels  is  not  gathered  in  vain.  It  speaks  of  a  deeper 
matter  than  imitation.  It  throws  a  new  light  on  the  whole  study  of  religion, 
on  the  whole  problem  of  the  religious  life." — The  Expository  Times.

The  ancient  anthology  of  Buddhist  devotional  poetry  was  com- 
piled from  the  utterances  of  Gotamo  and  his  disciples ;  from 
early  hymns  by  monks ;  and  from  the  popular  poetic  proverbs 
of  India.  Mr.  Edmunds  in  his  Introduction  thus  describes 
the  Dhammapada : 

"If  ever  an  immortal  classic  was  produced  upon  the  continent 
of  Asia,  it  is  this.  Its  sonorous  rolls  of  rhythm  are  nothing

TH.  EIMER. 


PROFESSOR  EIMER  zcas  the  teaeher  of  Professor  IVeismann 
at  Tubingen.  He  has  ivritten  voluminous  works  and  his  syste)n 
has  received  much  attention  in  Germany.  His  theory  is  based  mainly 
on  the  observation  of  butterflies  while  his  famous  disciple,  IVeis- 
mann, relies  cJiiefly  on  the  generalisation  of  facts  derived  from  the 
observation  of  ants.  Although  they  remained  personal  friends,  they 
differ  in  their  conclusions. 

The  pamphlet  On  Ortlwgcnesis  (i.  c.,  evolution  in  a  definitely  deter- 
mined direction)  is  a  condensed  statement  of  his  theory  made  by  the 
professor's  ozcn  hand,  and  it  acquires  an  additional  zest  by  being  a 
tilt  at  arms  directed  against  W cismann' s  Germinal  Selection  (see 
beloio  page  172).

Prof.  Eimer  is  a  Neo-Lamarckian  and  his  special  doctrine  of  or- 
thogenesis is  declared  to  be  a  ttniversally  valid  law,  framed 
to  show  that  organisms  develop  in  definite  directions,  without 
regard  for  tttility,  through  purely  physiological  causes,  through 
the  transmission  of  acquired  characters,  through  the  combined 
agency  of  the  constitution  of  the  animal  and  the  effects  of 
outward  influences.

"The  author  of  this  book  holds  that  'the  spirits  of  the  dead  continue  to 
exist  as  individuals  in  the  living,'  and  has  worked  out  this  idea  in  quaint 
suggestions  and  meditations  which  will  interest  many  and  perhaps  will  add 
somewhat  of  illumination  to  their  eager  gaze  into  the  world  beyond  death. 
It  is  devout,  hopeful  and  confident  of  a  kind  of  a  personal  immortality."

JOHANN  GOTTLIEB  FICHTE.     (1762-1814.) 

Everyone  familiar  icitli  llie  history  of  iJeniiaii  /'hilosopliy  recog- 
nizes the  importance  of  Fichte's  position  in  its  development.  His 
idealism  was  the  best  c.vposition  of  the  logical  ontcome  of  Kant's 
system  in  one  of  its  principal  aspects,  ichile  it  zeas  also  the  natnral 
precursor  of  II egel's  philosophy.  Bnt  the  intrinsic  valne  of  Fichte's 
zi'ritings  has  too  often  been  overlooked.  His  lofty  ethical  tone,  the 
keenness  of  his  mental  z'ision  and  the  pnrity  of  his  style  render  his 
zeorks  a  stimnlns  and  a  source  of  satisfaction  to  ez'cry  intelligent 
reader.  Of  all  his  nuDiy  books,  that  best  adapted  to  excite  an  inter- 
est in  his  philosophic  thought  is  the  J'ocation  of  Man,  zcliich  con- 
tains many  of  his  ///csY  fruitful  ideas  and  is  an  excellent  example  of 
the  spirit  and  method  of  his  teaching.

"Those  who  read  these  pages  will,  no  doubt,  agree  with  the  translator  that 

but   few   earnest   students   of   speculative   thought   will   give   their  unqualified 

assent  to  Fichte's  system  as  a  whole,  and  also  that  fewer  still  will  fail  to  glean 

something  of  value  for  thinking  and  living  from  the  harvest  of  his  philosophy."

GUSTAV  FREYTAG.    (1816-1895.) 

GUSTAV  FREYTAG  displays  n  deep  iiisi_;^lil  into  llic  human  said, 
and  presents  to  his  readers  an  exposition  of  the  psyeholot^y  of  soeial 
dez>eIop)nent  in  the  form  of  charniinii  and  artistie  romances.  The 
monistie  conception  of  the  soul  %cas  ncc'cr  expressed  in  a  clearer 
and  yet  more  popular  manner  titan  in   The  Lost  Mannscrift. 


The  Lost  Manuscript. 

By  GusTAV  Freytag.  A  Novel.  Authorized  translation  from 
the  sixteenth  German  edition.  Two  volumes.  I'a^es,  ^h.\ 
Extra  cloth,  boxed,  g-ilt  to]),  $4.00.  (21s.):  the  same  in  one 
volume,  cloth,  $1.00.  '(5s.) 

As  a  motto  for  the  American  Edition  the  author  writes : 
"A  noble   human  life  does  not  end  on   earth  with  death.     It 
continues  in  the  minds  and  the  deeds  of  friends,  as  well  as  in 
the  thought  and  activity  of  the  nation." 

Gustav  Ereytag  did  not  write  his  novel  with  the  intention  of 
teaching  psychology  or  preaching  ethics.  But  the  impartial 
description  of  life  does  teach  ethics,  and  every  poet  is  a  j^sychol- 
ogist  in  the  sense  that  he  portrays  human  souls. 

"Gustav  Freytag  anticipated  the  results  that  have  lately  been  established  by 
the  experiments  of  modern  psychology  in  this  remarkable  novel,  which  in 
more  than  one  respect  incorporates  the  spirit  of  the  times.  It  is  more  than 
an  ordinary  story.  It  deals  with  great  subjects,  compelling  thought.  Yet 
at  the  same  time  it  is  interestingly  told  and  highly  entertaining."

Martin  Luther. 

By  Gustav  Ereytag.  Now  translated  for  the  first  time  from 
the  famous  "Bilder  aus  der  deutschen  A'ergangenheit."  26 
illustrations.    Pages,  130.    Cloth,  gilt  top,  $1.00  net.     (5s.) 

"Upon  a  fair  and  liberal  estimate  of  Luther's  character  and  influence  the 
author  draws  a  series  of  brilliant  pictures  of  the  most  salient  points  in  the  re- 
former's career.  He  writes  with  admiration,  svmpathy  and  humor,  and  the 
brief  narrative  is  made  fuller  by  a  number  of  illustrations  taken  from  old 
German  prints  and  manuscripts.  The  translation  is  well  done,  and  serves  the 
purpose  of  making  real  and  vivid  to  English  readers  this  man  of  extraordinarv 
resolution    and    influence    upon   his    contemporaries    and   posterity." 

— Philadelpliia  Pitblie  Ledger. 

"Freytag's  vigorous  sketch  of  Luther  as  he  stands,  like  Thor  of  old,  enveloped 
in  murky  clouds  while  the  lightning  flashes  and  the  thunder-hanuner  booms, 
serves  well  to  illustrate  the  climax  of  that  great  struggle  which  forms  the 
innermost  kernel  of  medieval  history — the  struggle  between  the  iron-heeled 
collectivism  of  the  Romans  and  the  fierce  individualism  of  the  Germanic 
races." — Chicago  Tribune.

Portravs  the  struggles  of  an  enlightened  young  Brahman,  who 

has  the  decision  to  make  between  the  customs  of  his  country 

and  religion  and  the  dictates  of  reason  and  duty.     A  charming 

picture  of  the  religio-social  life  of  India  as  affected  by  European 

influences. 

"This   is   a   delightful    story   of   modern   India — -not  of   English   life   in   India, 

but  of  native   Indian   life.     It  gives,   incidentally,   an   insight  into  the   Hindu 

caste  system,  and,  all  in  all,  is  a  very  pleasing  tale  of  the  power  of  love  to 

break  the  power  of  tradition   and   prejudice." — Buffalo   Christian  Advocate. 

"This  little  tale  is  not  only  a  fascinating  sketch  of  the  religious  life  of  the 

native   Indians,  but   also   a   picture   of  the   aspirations    which   in   exceptional 

cases  prompt  faithful  believers  among  the  Brahmans,  like  so  many  Qiristians 

of   Europe   and    America,   to   outgrow    the   old   rituals   and    ceremonies   of   a 

dogmatic  and  narrowly  sectarian  worship,  and  to  widen  into  a  cosmic  religion 

of    humanitarianism." — Chicago   Evening   Post.

philosophy  cannot  treat  of  spirit  and  God,  but  that  these  belong  only 
to  the  realm  of  theological  speculation.  From  these  premises  he 
argues  a  wholly  materialistic  theory  of  perception.  Later  Berkeley 
follozved  a  similar  line  of  argumcjit  but  carried  it  further,  thus  reach- 
ing the  opposite  conclusion ;  for  proceeding  from  sensualislic  prem- 
ises he  finally  denies  the  existence  of  matter  and  thus  arrives  at  a 
subjective  idealism.  The  kernel  of  Hobbes's  metaphysical  theory 
is  in  the  foUoiving  sentence  from  his  essay  De  Cor  pore:  "The  icorld 
(I  mean  .  .  .  the  whole  mass  of  all  thiu<:s  that  are)  is  corporeal,  that 
is  to  say,  body;  .  .  .  and  tJiat  which  is  not  body  is  no  part  of  the 
iiniverse." 


The  Metaphysical  System  of  Hobbes, 

As  contained  in  twelve  chapters  from  his  "Elements  of  Phil- 
osophy Concerning-  IJody,"  and  in  briefer  extracts  from  his 
"Human  Nature"  and  "Leviathan."  Selected  by  Mary 
Whiton  Calkins.  Pages,  xxv,  187.  Cloth.  Price,  75  cents 
net.     (3s.  net.) 

This  voluiue  aims  to  supply  the  need  of  an  historically  valuable 
summary  of  materialistic  doctrine  and  to  give  an  adequate  im- 
pression of  tire  De  Corpore  and  Hobbes's  treatment  of  material- 
ism in  "Human  Nature"  and  "Leviathan." 


GEORGE  JACOB  HOLYOAKE. 

MR.  HOLYOAKE  zcas  the  founder  of  the  Secularist  movement  in. 
England  and  the  originator  of  the  name.  Secularism  espouses  the 
cause  of  the  world  against  that  of  theology  and  claims  that  religion 
ought  never  to  be  anything  but  the  individual's  ozvn  private  affair. 
Mr.  Elolyoake's  "Confession  of  Belief"  is  as  concise  as  possible, 
and,  since  he  is  the  standard  bearer  of  Secularism,  lie  speaks  zcith 
authority.  The  Open  Court  rublisliing  Company  does  not  agree 
with  his  conviction  in  regard  to  religious  matters,  but  it  recognises 
his  sincerity  and  integrity  and  Jias  presented  his  book  to  the  public 
in  the  belief  that  the  first  condition  of  a  reconciliation  between  the 
tzco  parties  zcithin  and  zcithout  the  church  zcouid  be  for  religious 
men  to  listen  patiently  to  tJie  complaints  made  by  sincere  and  sen- 
sible adversaries  of  the  church.

English  Secularism.    A  Confession  of  Belief. 

By  George  Jacoi;  Hcjlvoake.  Pages,  xii,  141.  Cloth,  30  cents 
net. 

This  work  contains  a  series  of  chapters  setting  forth  the  tenets 
of  secularism,  and  is  prefaced  by  a  few  remarks  of  the  author 
in  which  he  invites  investigation  of  his  opinions  by  thoughtful 
people,  and  sanctions  the  Publishers'  Preface  in  which  Dr.  Pan! 
Cams  expresses  the  conflicting  point  of  view  of  the  religion  oi 
science. 

"We  have  read  the  book  with  interest  and  with  increasing  respect  for  its 
author,  although  we  are  among  those  whom  he  opposes  uniformly  and  often 
criticises  severely.  Such  criticism  as  this  book  contains  shoukl  be  heeded  by 
Christians,  liecause  it  is  conscientious  and  candid  and  not  without_  some  ele- 
ments of  truth,  but  it  need  not  disturb  their  allegiance  to  their  divine  master 
in  the  least." — Th:  Congrcgationalist,  Boston,  Mass. 

"Holyoakc  writes  a  plain  incisive  English,  without  ornate  phrase,  and  is  easily 
followed  in  all  the  traceries  of  his  argument ;  is  very  frank,  very  manly,  always 
strong,  an  uncompromising  but  just  antagonist."

EVARISTE  REGIS  HUC.     (1813-1860.) 

M.  HUC  is  knoicn  as  one  of  the  first  Western  authorities  on 
Chinese  eustoms  and  relii^ion.  The  publication  of  his  "Trai'els"  in 
French  in  1850  zvas  soon  follozvcd  by  tzco  works  on  "The  Cliinese 
Empire"  and  "Christianity  in  China."  Material  for  all  tliese  leorks 
was  obtained  during  the  eventful  journey,  through  the  Orient  which 
he  pursued  in  company  with  ^L  Gabet,  another  Lazarist  missionary. 
They  zvere  very  clever  in  their  missionary  zcork — ^cunning  as  ser- 
pents and  yet  as  guileless  as  children.  With  tJie  spirit  of  St.  Paul 
they  adopted  the  Chinese  manner  of  dress  while  in  the  Celestial 
Empire,  but  cut  off  tlieir  queues  and  dressed  as  lamas  zchen  in 
Tibet.  In  Lhassa  they  were  treated  zcith  the  greatest  respect  by  the 
Regent,  but  the  representative  of  the  Chinese  goz'crnment  insisted 
on  their  e.vile  and  their  interesting  visit  came  to  an  end,  quite  in 
opposition  to  the  Kcgcnfs  zvishes.

DAVID  HUME. 
Frontispiece  to  Enquiry  Concerning  Human  Understanding. 


THE  OPEN  COURT  PUBLISHING  CO.,  CHICAGO. 


DAVID  HUME. 

Among  his  contemporaries  HUME  was  more  admired  for  his 
classical  History  of  England  than  for  his  philosophical  essays;  but, 
says  Weber  (History  of  Philosophy,  p.  418  n.),  "Our  age  has 
reversed  this  opinion.  Hume,  the  spiritual  father  of  Kant,  now 
takes  precedence  over  Hume,  the  riz'al  of  Robertson  and  Gibbon." 
His  views  followed  Locke's  empiricism  to  a  consistent  conclusion, 
and  marked  the  begiujiing  of  modern  philosophy  by  substituting 
criticism  for  metaphysicisni.

WOODS  HUTCHINSON,  M.  A.,  M.  D. 

A  native  of  England,  DR.  HUTCH L\'SON  removed  to  the  United 
States  during  the  years  of  his  early  education.  He  began  practicing 
medicine  at  the  age  of  tTccnty-tico,  haz'ing  completed  his  collegiate 
and  medical  preparation.  Besides  spending  many  years  in  the 
active  pursuit  of  his  profession,  he  has  been  Professor  and  lecturer 
in  universities  of  the  United  States  and  England  on  the  subjects  of 
anatomy,  biology  and  comparative  pathology.  He  writes  in  a  very 
popular  and  pleasing  style,  and  his  Gospel  of  Danvin  propounds  no 
neiv  gospel  but  cmphasiaes  the  dignity  and  sacredness  of  scientific 
truth.

tion, The  Strength  of  lleanty.  The  \'aluc  of  I'ain. 

"I-s  one  of  the  most  thoughtful  and  stinnilating  of  recent  pu!)]ications.  .  .  . 
In  .these  pages  are  discussed,  in  frank,  manly,  straightforward  manner,  many 
of  the  themes  that  are  most  vital  to  the  race.  .  .  .  We  may  not  agree 
with  all  Dr.  Hutchinson  says,  but  wc  cannot  deny  the  freshness  and  vigor  of 
all  his  argument,  nor  the  force  of  his  facts,  and  we  shall  all  find  in  his  pages 
very  much  food  for  profitable  meditation." — The  Chicago  Chronicle. 

"Not  the  least  of  the  virtues  of  those  essays  is  their  stimulating  vigor  of 
thought.  Dr.  Hutchinson  owes  allegiance  to  no  school;  what  he  gives  us  is 
plainly  the  outcome  of  earnest  personal  thought.  .  .  .  No  amount  of 
disagreement  on  minor  matters  can  blind  the  impartial  reader  to  the  manifest 
virtues  of  the  book  as  a  wdiole ;  to  the  width  of  knowledge  displayed,  the  keen 
desire  for  truth,  the  terse  and  picturesque  style,  the  originality  and  independ- 
ence of  mind." — The  Saturday  Weekly  Citizen,  Glasgozv. 

"The  brilliant  and  eloquent  author  of  this  volume  writes  with  the  burning 
conviction  that  evolution  has  vitalized  religion  by  infusing  into  it  a  new  and 
higher  conception  of  God  and  the  universe." — Ciunberland  Presbyterian. 

"The  title  may  frighten  away  some  very  orthodox  people,  yet  there  is  nothing 
very  alarmingly  radical  in  Darwinism,  after  all.  And  this  book  is  written 
not  to  give  offense  to  religionists,  but  in  the  cheery  spirit  of  one  who  believes 
there  is  a  nobler,  broader  conception  in  the  advancement  of  the  race  than  in 
the  mere  uplifting  and  salvation  of  the  individual.  Since  we  must  fall  in  the 
race,  let  us  fall  forward,  not  for  any  gain  to  ourselves  in  any  hereafter,  but 
because  it  less  impedes  the  progress  of  those  behind  us  who  have  not  yet 
fallen.     That  is  his  gospel." — Newark  Daily  Advertiser. 

"We  can  commend  Dr.  Hutchinson  for  having  given  us  a  cheerful,  wise  and 
instructive  series  of  Darwinian  sermons.  We  should  add  that  he  has  also 
some  very  serious  and  necessary  things  to  say  about  the  population  question 
and  others  related  to  it." — JVestniinster  Rez'ie^v.

books  ever  written.  No  one  can  understand  Kant  7^'Iio  lias  not

JOSEPH  LOUIS  LAGRANGE.     (1737-1813.) 

Though  born  in  Turin,  and  President  of  the  Academy  of  Sciences  at 
Berlin  under  Frederick  the  Great  for  t7(.'enty  years,  Lai:;ranj^e  came 
of  an  old  French  family  of  Touraine,  said  to  be  allied  to  that  of 
Descartes.  At  the  a;^e  of  nineteen  he  had  made  the  greatest  dis- 
coz'cry  in  mathematics  since  that  of  the  infinitesimal  calculus,  namely, 
the  creation  of  the  method  of  the  Calculus  of  Pariations.  At  the 
age  of  twenty-six  he  was  at  the  zenith  of  European  fame,  but  perma- 
nently broken  in  health,  although  by  remarkable  care  of  liimself  he 
lived  to  the  age  of  seventy-seven.  He  lived  for  nothing  but  science,  but 
though  conversant  with  all  branches,  including  medicine,  he  knew 
his  forte  and  rarely  e.vpressed  an  opinion  on  anything  that  zeas 
not  connected  with  mathematics.

GOTTFRIED  WILHELM  VON  LEIBNIZ.     (1646- 

1716.) 

It  would  be  difficult  to  overestimate  the  importance  or  mag- 
nitude of  the  labors  of  Leibniz.  His  attainments  are  universal.  He 
disfiiiindshed  himself  alike  in  history,  jurisprudence,  loi^ic,  meta- 
physics, mechanics,  and  mathematics,  beiui:;  joint  founder  of  the 
infinitesimal  calculus  and  inventor  of  the  symbol  of  intc!j;ration. 
With  Descartes  Leibniz  affirmed  that  cz'erythini^  in  nature  can  be 
explained  mechanically ;  that  occult  causes  must  never  be  assigned  to 
phenomena;  but  he  differed  from  Descartes  in  insisting  that  the 
source  of  mechanicalism  is  in  metaphysics.  An  excellent  survey  of 
Leibniz's  thought  is  furnished  by  these  three  treatises  ichicJi  form  a 
logical  Tchole.

"To  understand  and  to  feel  the  force  and  naturalness  of  Leibniz's  thought 
one  should  approach  his  system  through  the  Discours  de  Mctaphysiquc.  Dr. 
Montgomery's  book  should  receive  a  warm  welcome  from  students  and  teach- 
ers of  pliilosophy,  and  from  all  who  would  become  acquainted  with  the  stimu- 
lating thought  of  one  who  contests  with  Aristotle  the  right  to  be  called  the 
most  comprehensive  intellect  which  the  race  has  produced."

EMILIE  HYACINTHE  LOYSON. 

The  celebrated  I'leiieh  oralor  and  tlieoloiniaii,  leather  Ilyaeiiithc 
Loysoii,  7eh()  has  been  (^romiiieutlx  before  the  leorld  because  of  his 
stand  in  behalf  of  Catholic  reform.  to_i:;elher  7eith  his  acahits  and 
energetic  leife.  Mine,  lluiilie  Ily-acinthe  Loyson,  spent  the  years 
1894-1896  ///  trai'eling  through  Xorthern  ylfrica  and  .Isia  Minor. 
Their  purpose  leas  to  become  better  ac(iuainted  leith  the  people  and 
ideals  of  Islam  and  to  use  their  inlluence  toward  bringing  to  pass 
within  the  leorld's  monotheistic  faiths  (Christianity.  Judaism  and 
Islam)  the  realirjation  that  si)ice  each  worships  the  One  God,  all  are 
but  brothers  in  the  leorship  of  the  same  All-Father.  The  record  of 
this  journey  is  told  in  Mme.  Loyson's  book.  The  Expository  Times 
of  London  says: 

"This  remarkable  book,  the  work  of  one  of  the  most  remarkable 
women  of  our  time,  the  joint  work,  rather,  of  a  remarkable  woman 
and  a  remarkable  man. — for  Pcre  Hyacinthc  is  joint-author  of  it 
from  cover  to  cover  though  he  is  not  the  writer  of  it. — this  remark- 
able hook  is  beyond  the  skill  of  the  reviewer.  It  would  be  easy  to 
blame  it.  Men  in  a  hurr\  for  copy,  or  in  a  Iiate  at  Fere  Hyacinthc, 
will  till  their  columns  with  quite  plausible  matter  for  blame,  and 
salt  it  zvell  with  superiority.  But  zchen  the  most  is  said  tJiis  is  what 
it  7C'///  come  to.  that  Madame  Hyacinthc  Loyson  remembers  the 
u'ords,  'He  that  is  not  against  us  is  on  our  part,'  and  remembers  that 
they  are  the  words  of  her  dear  Lord.  He  who  should  say  that  she 
exalts  the  Koran  above  the  Bible,  that  she  sees  only  the  good  in 
Islam,  only  the  evil  in  Christendom,  gives  himself  into  her  hands. 
For  she  zvrites  dozen  zvhat  her  ozcn  eyes  have  seen;  and  though  she 
has  many  examples  of  Christian  prejudice  and  many  of  Muslim 
charity  to  record,  she  never  for  one  moment  finds  Muhammad  stand- 
ing in  her  thoughts  beside  Christ.  .-Ill  tJiaf  if  comes  to  in  the  end 
is  this,  that  Christians  are  rarely  true  to  Christ,  Muslims  are  often 
much  better  than  Muhammad."

and  account  of  personal  experiences  in  h-gypt  and  Jerusalem  and  elsewhere 
are  immensely  interesting,  and  make  the  reader  seem  to  see  it  all." 

— Chicago  Evening  Post. 

"Her  notes  of  social  visits  give  interesting  pictures  of  Aral)  manners.  The 
Arabs  she  pronounces  'the  best  behaved  and  most  forbearing  jieople  in  the 
world,  and  not  unlike  'the  best  type  of  our  New  Englandcrs."  She  evidently 
moved  in  the  best  society,  but  even  among  the  common  people  she  noted 
points  in  which  Christians  might  learn  of  Mohammedans.  Polygamy,  how- 
ever, is  noted  as  the  black  spot  on  the  brow  of  Islam.  Evidently  the  tour  of 
the  Loysons  accomplished  good.  It  were  w^ell  if  all  missionaries  were  ani- 
mated bv  their  spirit.     The  volume  is  handsomely  printed  and  illustrated."

"A  remarkable  work." — Xatttrc. 

"Mach's  mechanics  is  unique.  It  is  not  a  text-book,  but  forms  a  useful  sup- 
plement to  the  ordinar}-  text-book.  The  latter  is  usually  a  skeleton  outline, 
full  of  mathematical  symbols  and  other  abstractions.  Mach's  book  has  'mus- 
cle and  clothing,"  and  being  written  from  the  historical  standpoint,  introduces 
the  leading  contributors  in  succession,  tells  what  they  did  and  how  they  did 
it,  and  often  what  manner  of  men  they  were.  1  bus  it  is  that  the  pages  glow, 
as  it  were,  with  a  certain  humanism,  quite  delightful  in  a  scientific  book. 
.  .  .  The  book  is  handsomely  printed,  and  deserves  a  warm  reception  from 
all   interested  in   the   progress   of   science." 

— The  Physical  Revieiv,  Ncxv  York  and  London. 

"The  book  as  a  whole  is  unique,  and  is  a  valuable  addition  to  any  library  of 
science  or  philosophy.  .  .  .  Reproductions  of  quaint  old  portraits  and 
vignettes  give  piquancy  to  the  pages.  The  numerous  marginal  titles  form 
a  complete  epitome  of  the  work;  and  there  is  that  invaluable  adjunct,  a  good 
index.  Altogether  the  publishers  are  to  be  congratulated  upon  producing  a 
technical   work  that  is   thoroughly  attractive  in   its  make-up." 

— Prof.  D.  ]]'.  Hering,  in  Science. 

"A  masterly  book.  .  .  .  To  any  one  who  feels  that  he  does  not  know  as 
much  as  he  ought  to  about  physics,  we  can  commend  it  most  heartily  as  a 
scholarly   and   able   treatise     .     .     .     both   interesting  and  profitable." 

— A.  M.  Wellington,  in  Engineering  News,  New  York. 

"Sets  forth  the  elements  of  its  subject  with  a  lucidity,  clearness,  and  force 
unknown  in  the  mathematical  text-books  ...  is  admirably  fitted  to  serve 
students  as  an  introduction  on  historical  lines  to  the  principles  of  mechanical

here  lii^ht  is  shed  upon  the  sul)ject  from  all  ])oints  of  view 
com])incd.  and  the  different  soiu'ces  from  which  the  many 
divergent  forms  that  the  science  of  space  has  historicallv  as-

"The  leader  in  tlie  biological  movement  in  mathematical  thought  is  Professor 
Afach,  whose  Pupular  Scientific  Lectures  and  Science  of  Mechanics  liave 
quickened  and  enlightened  both  scientific  and  philosophic  thought  throughout 
the  western  world.  The  book  in  hand  ought  to  be  read  and  pondered  by 
every  teacher  of  mathematics  and  every  educated  parent.  .  .  .  The  Kant- 
ian philosopher  will  find  here  reason  to  reconsider  his  master's  doctrine 
of  .space  and  time.  The  psychologist  will  gain  startling  glimpses  of  the 
relations  of  modern  p.sychology  to  modern  mathematics.  And  the  mathema- 
tician of  the  analyst  type  will  gain  a  wholesome  sense  of  the  fact  that  the 
purest  offspring  of  his  thought  may  trace  a  legitimate  genealogy  back  and 
down  to  physical  and  physiological  parentage.  Indeed,  the  stream  of  the 
author's  discourse  contains  the  waters  of  many  confluent  sciences.  The 
translation  is  well-nigh  perfect.  And  the  publishers  are  again  to  be  con- 
gratulated on  their  excellent  judgment  and  their  generosity  in  the  service 
of  science." — The  Ahition.

and  comparison  of  tlie  relations  that  obtain  between  our  own 
relii;ion,  Christianity — including-  its  sources  in  the  Old  Testa-

im[)t)rtance  in  theology,  for  the  inlluence  of  i'ersia  on  Israel 
and  also  on  the  foundation  of  the  Christian  faith  has  been

dispensable for  a  comprehension  of  the  origin  of  our  faith. 

"The  present  volume  amply  meets  all  expectations.  The  antiquity  of  the 
Zoroastrian  literature  is  successfully  maintained,  and  in  such  a  manner  that 
ordinary  readers  can  appreciate  the  argument.  The  conclusions  come  with 
great  force  in  support  of  the  genuineness  and  authenticity  of  the  hiblical  ref- 
erences to  Cyrus  in  the  Old  Testament.  Students  of  the  literature  of  the 
Captivity  will  find  the  volume  invaluable.  The  facts  now  brought  to  light 
are  such  as  the  lilcrary  critics  cannot  afford  to  neglect." — Bibliothcca  Sacra.

FRIEDRICH  MAX  MULLER.       (1823-1890.) 

To  the  unlearned  icorld  at  large  Max  Miillcr  stood  for  the  per- 
sonHieation  of  phlloloi^ieal  seholarship,  ivhich  he  knew  hozc  to  make 
intelligible  and  attraetive  to  the  popular  mind.  But  his  researches 
compreJiended  all  departments  of  philosophy  and  religion  and  as  a 
simper  of  popular  scientific  thought  he  may  be  said  to  rank  with 
Huxley  and  Tyndall.  When  he  undertook  the  editing  of  the  Sacred 
Books  of  the  East  it  zcas  with  the  secret  hope  that  the  publication 
of  canons  of  other  religions  would  produce  a  kindlier  feeling 
toward  alien  races  and  cause  people  to  understand  and  appreciate 
their  own  religion  more  fairly  and  fully.  Philosopliically  Max  Miil- 
lcr stands  for  the  doctrine  of  the  identity  of  language  and  thought. 
He  disclaimed  being  a  philologist  in  the  purely  technical  sense  and 
considered  himself  the  founder  of  a  new  Science  of  Language. 
To  him — and  here  lie  follows  Ludzvig  Noire — the  problem  of  the 
origin  of  language  was  the  problem  of  the  origin  of  thought,  and 
the  solutions  of  the  science  of  thought  he  sought  in  the  researches 
of  the  science  of  language. 


Three     Introductory     Lectures    on     the     Science    of 
Thought. 

With  a  correspondence  on  "Thought  Without  Words,"  be- 
tween F.  Max  Miiller  and  Francis  Gahon,  the  Duke  of  Argyll, 
George  J.  Romanes  and  others.  Professor  Max  Miiller  sets 
forth  in  this  book  his  view  of  the  identity  of  Language  and 
Thought,  which  is  a  further  development  of  Ludwig  Noire's 
theory  that  "man  thinks  because  he  speaks." 

(1)  The  Simplicity  of  Language;  (2)  The  Identity  of  Lan- 
guage and  Thought;  and  (3)  The  Simplicity  of  Thought. 
By  Prof.  F.  Max  Muller.    Pages,  128.    Cloth,  75  cents. 

"The  ripe  expression  of  a  life-long  labor  in  the  studj'  of  the  science  of  lan- 
guage."— Scotsman,  Edinburgh. 

"The  work  is  attractively  got  np,  and  simply  invaluable,  not  only  to  the 
student  of  language  and  thought  in  relationship  to  language,  but  to  the  gen- 
eral reader,  for  the  lectures  are  as  luminous  as  they  are  learned,  as  captivat- 
ing as  they  are  suggestive,  and  as  striking  as  they  are  scholarly.  No  young 
men  ought  to  be  without  tlfem.  They  are  a  cornucopia  of  thought,  research, 
definition,  argument  and  mental  stimulus." — The  Gentleman's  Journal.

author's  own  views  on  the  subject.  The  author  is  not  dogmatic  in  state-

"It  is  a  particularly  illuminating  exposition  of  the  whole  subject  that  is  here 
given  by  Professor  Powell.  ...  A  book  of  uncommon  intelligence, 
acumen  and  carefulness  of  investigation." — The  Chicago  Evening  Post. 

"His  work  is  likely  to  affect  current  opinion  as  to  the  general  position  of 
Spinoza  in  the  course  of  religious  thought.  He  will  have  to  be  counted 
with,  by  every  student  of  philosophy  and  religion,  and  should  be  specially 
studied  by  those  who  claim  that  Spinoza  is  specihcally  a  Jewish  philosopher." 

— The  American  Hebrew. 

"He  is  especially  well  qualified  for  the  task  he  has  undertaken  ;  first,  because 
he  has  pursued  the  study  of  philosophy  con  a  more,  and,  secondly,  because 
he  has  given  much  attention  to  the  system  of  Spinoza  and  made  it  the  subject 
of  special  investigation.  Pie  speaks,  therefore,  as  an  expert — and  he  writes 
clearly  and  with  keen  discrimination." — Reformed  Churcli  Rcvicie. 

"Professor  Powell  has  produced  an  exceedingly  able  and  authoritative  book. 
Few  will  read  it  without  feeling  that  it  settles  for  them  the  question  of 
Spinoza's  real  attitude  to  God  and  to  religion.  And  those  who  read  it  will 
obtain  incidentally  the  benefit  of  a  clear  and  consistent  presentation  of  the 
whole  philosophic  system  of  one  of  the  most  difficult  to  understand  of  all  the 
great  thinkers  of  European  history." — The  Glasgozo  Herald. 

"We  commend  it  to  those  who  are  interested  in  the  history  of  philosophy,  of 
which  this  is  an  important  chapter.  The  author  has  applied  himself  dili- 
gently to  his  subject  and  made  use  of  the  latest  and  best  authorities."

this  is  all  true,  yet  this  is  not  a  tithe  of  the  value  of  the  volume.     Its  intrinsic

French  savants  no  one  e.vceeds  Professor  Ribot  of  the  College  de 
France  and  editor  of  the  Revue  Philosophique.  zcho  is  distinguished 
by  his  critical  ability  in  sifting  the  enormous  amount  of  material  on 
hand  and  presenting  the  several  psycliological  problems  in  lucid  and 
concise  monographs.  His  ivorks  Jiave  akcays  been  e.vtremely  pop- 
ular zvitJi  the  general  reading  public  as  zvell  as  zi.nth  the  scientific 
zvorld.  The  Rcviezv  of  Reviezcs  has  said:  "Ribot' s  zvorks,  zAiile 
scientific  to  the  extreme,  are  zcritfen  in  so  'dear  a  style  and  are  so 
representative  of  one  of  the  great  lines  of  study  in  our  day  that 
they  appeal  to  any  intelligent  reader  who  is  interested  in  the  prob- 
lems  of   psychology."

Essay  on  the  Creative  Imagination. 

By  Prof.  Tii.  Riijot.  Translated  from  the  r'rench  by  A.  H. 
N.  Baron,  Fellow  in  Clark  University.  I'JOO.  Cloth,  gilt 
top.  Pages,  357.  $1.75  net.  (7s.  Od.  net.) 
The  book  contains  an  introductory  chapter  on  the  motor  na- 
ture of  the  constructive  imagination.  Part  I.  analyzes  the  im- 
agination into  its  intellectual,  emotional,  and  unconscious  fac- 
tors, its  organic  conditions  and  the  principle  of  unity ;  Part 
II.  treats  of  the  development  of  the  imagination  in  animals, 
children,  primitive  man,  and  the  higher  forms  of  invention ; 
Part  III.  enumerates  the  principal  types  of  imagination,  plastic, 
diffluent,  mystic,  scientific,  practical  and  mechanical,  commer- 
cial, and  Utopian. 

Professor  Ribot  gives  here  a  classical  exposition  of  a  branch 
of  psychology  which  has  often  been  discussed,  but  perhaps 
never  before  in  a  thoroughly  scientific  manner.  Although  the 
purely  reproductive  imagination  has  been  studied  with  consid- 
erable enthusiasm  from  time  to  time,  the  creative  or  construc- 
tive variety  has  been  generally  neglected  and  is  popularly  sup- 
posed to  l^e  confined  within  the  limits  of  esthetic  creation. 

"It  is  an  ingeniously  simple  book,  wherein  originality  in  thought  is  correlated 
with  our  knowledge  of  imitative  processes,  and  the  unknown  readily  brought 
within  the  scope  of  the  known."' — Chicago  Daily  Nczi's. 

"The  chapter  on  'The  Commercial  Imagination'  is  a  highly  interesting  original 
study." — Outlook. 

"To  commend  so  unique  a  volume  to  the  discerning  reader  is  time  and 
space  wasted.  It  has  already  taken  its  rightful  place  as  one  of  the  very  few 
creative  works  of  the  last  decade." — Cumberland  Presbyterian.

Pages,   231.     Cloth.    $1.25.      (5s.) 

The  author  establishes  three  periods  in  the  development  of 
the  processes  of  abstracting  and  generalizing :  (  1 )  inferior 
abstraction,  prior  to  the  appearance  of  speech;  (2)  interme- 
diate abstraction,  accompanied  by  words,  which  are  at  first 
only  accessory;  (3)  superior  abstraction,  where  words  alone 
exist  in  consciousness. 

"Psychologists  and  tcaclicrs  everywhere  would  do  well  to  consider  the  funda- 
mental truths  and  principles  which  this  most  scientihc  of  their  number  is 
bringing  out  for  the  right  treatment  of  the  youthful  mind  and  brain  of  the 
child." — St.  Louis  Globt:-Dcnwcrat. 

"The  whole  treatise  deserves  the  attention  of  teachers  of  psychology  and  is  so 
full  of  illustration  as  to  be  of  interest  to  ordinary  readers." — Indcpcndcut. 

"Professor  Ribot  gives  the  reader  plenty  of  leeway  for  his  own  opinion  or 
research.  He  gets  over  his  theme  rapidly,  leaving  behind  clear  impressions 
as  to  the  world's  movement  in  psychological  and  spiritual  growth,  compara- 
tive philology,  anthropology,  and  general  science — yet  never  fatigues  by  being 
prosy." — Tlic  U.  S.  Financial  and  Mercantile  Examiner.

his  scientific  conviction  to  the  traditional  interpretation  of  the  faith 
of  his  childhood,  and  The  Open  Court  Publishiiii^  Compan\  has  pub- 
lished f7i'o  little  books  of  his,  which  represent  the  first  and  last  stages 
of  his  religious  develop)nent.  The  earlier  one  shows  Jiim  as  a  power- 
ful critic  of  theism  exposing  its  weakness  on  the  ground  of  evi- 
dences supported  by  philosophy  and  the  natural  sciences.  In  con- 
trast to  the  Candid  Examination  of  Tlieism  stands  the  aufJior's 
Thoughts  on  Religion,  written  at  different  periods  during  his  last 
illness  and  published  posthunwnslv  by  his  friend.  Charles  Gore, 
Canon  of  Jl^estminster.  His  faith  was  of  a  peculiar  compass,  for 
his  mind  7vas  broad  enough  to  harbor,  along  with  a  purified  Chris- 
tianity, a  philosophy  based  upon  a  rigorous  investigation  of  the 
facts  of  nature.  His  conviction  of  the  ''immortality  that  is  noie" 
is  beautifully  expressed  in  the  follozeing  lines  written  as  a  memo- 
rial to  Charles  Darwin: 


'Tis    said   that  memory   is   life, 

And  that,  though  dead,  men  are  aHve: 
Removed   from  sorrow,  care,  and  strife. 

They  live  because  their  works  survive. 
And  some  find  sweetness  in  the  thought 

That  immortality  is  now; 
That  though  our  earthly  parts  arc  brought 

To  re-unite  with  all  below, 
The  spirit  and  the  life  yet  live 

In  future  lives  of  all  our  kind, 
And,  acting  still  in  them,  can  give 

Eternal  life  to  every  mind. 

The  web  of  things  on   every   side 

Is  joined  by  lines  we  may  not  see; 
And,  great  or  narrow,  small  or  wide, 

What  has  been  governs  what  shall  be. 
No  change  in  childhood's  early  day, 

No  storm  that  raged,  no  thought  that  ran, 
But  leaves  a  track  upon  the  clay 

Which   slowly  hardens  into   man ; 
And  so,  amid  the  race  of  men, 

No  change  is  lost,  seen  or  unseen  ; 
And  of  the  earth   no  denizen 

Shall  be  as  though  he  had  not  been.

■zvritfcii  t/iis  atiractivc  little  book  for  the  (purpose  of  al'fordiiii^  iiiathe- 
niafieal  recreation  to  both  yoitiii^  and  old  as  i^'cll  as  to  aid  the  teach- 
■'"cs  of  geometry  in  schools  and  colleges.  Its  significance  to  teachers 
and  students  of  mathematics  is  evident  from  the  fact  that  Professors 
Bcnian  and  Smith  undertook  the  task  of  rei'ising  and  editing  it  so 
that  it  might  be  made  accessible  to  the  .Imerican  public.  In  their 
f^reface  to  this  edition  the  editors  say:  "The  methods  arc  so  novel 
and  the  results  so  easily  reached  that  they  cannot  fail  to  aicako' 
cntluisiasm."

"The  book  is  simply  a  revelation  in  paper  folding.  All  sorts  of  things  arc 
done  with  the  paper  squares,  and  a  large  nnnil)er  of  geometric  figures  are 
constructed  and  explained  in  the  simplest   wdy." — Tcaclicrs'  Institute. 

"For  teachers  of  elementary  geometry  the  book  is  really  of  considerable 
value,  as  it  shows  in  a  forcible  and  tangible  way  how  properties  vaguely 
known  to  us  by  experience  are  logical  and  necessary  consequences  of  a  few 
definitions." — Virgil  Snyder  in   llic  Joitrnal  of  Pliysical  Cliciiiistry.

Mathematical  Essays  and  Recreations. 

By  Hermann  Schubert,  Professor  of  Mathematics  in  Ham- 
burg'. Contents :  Notion  and  Definition  of  Number  ;  Monism 
in  Arithmetic ;  On  the  Nature  of  Mathematical  Knowledge ;  The 
Magic  Square ;  The  Fourth  Dimension ;  The  Squaring  of  the 
Circle.  From  the  German  by  T.  J.  McCormack.  Pages,  149. 
Cuts,  37.    Cloth,  75  cents  net.    (3s.  6d.  net.) 

"Professor  Schubert's  essays  make  delightful  as  well  as  instructive  reading. 
They  deal,  not  with  the  dry  side  of  mathematics,  but  with  the  philosophical 
side  of  that  science  on  the  one  hand  and  its  romantic  and  mystical  side  on 
the  other.  No  great  amount  of  mathematical  knowledge  is  necessary  in 
order  to  thoroughly  appreciate  and  enjoy  them.  They  are  admirably  iucid 
and  simple  and  answer  questions  in  which  every  intelligent  man  is  interested." 

— Chicago   Ei'ciiiiig  Post. 

"They  should  delight  the  jaded  teacher  of  elementary  arithmetic,  who  is 
too  liable  to  drop  into  a  mere  rule  of  thumb  system  and  forget  the  scientific 
side  of  his  work.  Their  chief  merit  is  however  their  intelligibiHty.  Even 
tile  lay  mind  can  understand  and  take  a  deep  interest  in  what  the  German 
professor  has  to  say  on  the  history  of  magic  squares,  the  fourth  dimension 
and   squaring  of  the  circle." — Saturday  Rez'iciv. 

"Perhaps  most  interesting  of  all  is  a  delightfully  written  history  of  the 
squaring  of  the  circle,  from  the  earliest  times  down  to  the  demonstration 
by  Lindcmann  of  the  impossibility  of  the  construction.  .  .  .  Every  essay 
in  the  collection  is  clear,  sound,  instructive  and  entertaining."

"Professor  Schubert  expounds  with  great  lucidity,  and  the  translator's  work 
has   been  admirably  done." — Manchester  Guardian. 

"A  most  pleasing  presentation  of  fundamental  mathematical  truths,  couched 
in  such  language  and  expressions  as  to  make  it  particularly  acceptable  to 
those  who,  though  greatly  interested  in  such  matters,  have  not  devoted  them- 
selves so  exclusively  to  them  as  to  become  finished  masters."

The  most  important  topics  discussed  are  the  God-conception 
of  Ikiddhism,  the  immortality  of  the  soul,  the  significance  of 
Buddhist  ethics,  and  the  value  of  thought  and  work.  The 
manner  in  which  these  subjects  are  presented  is  thoroiighly  in 
accord  with  Western  modes  of  thinking,  so  as  to  be  easily  com- 
prehensible to  Christian   readers. 

"Soyen  Shaku  is  rated  as  one  of  the  foremost  Buddhist  thinkers  of  Japan. 
His  thoughts  conveyed  to  us  in  the  smooth  and  scholarly  English  of  I\lr. 
Suzuki  are  hoth  instructive  and  interesting.  His  views  of  life  and  of  the 
highest    metaphysical   problems   are   well    worth    careful    consideration." 

— Cleveland  Plain  Dealer. 

"Buddhism  is  generally  so  misrepresented  in  the  official  accounts  of  it  given 
in  encyclopedias  and  works  of  reference  that  take  their  articles  on  this  sub- 
ject from  Christian  clergymen,  that  a  work  like  this  whi;h  exhibits  its 
teachings  from  the  inside  is  sure  of  a  welcome  from  thoughtful  and  fair- 
minded  readers." — Scotsman.

contradictory  expressions  in  his  writinjj^s,  n'hich  sJioiv  a  timidity 
that  is  quite  in  contrast  to  his  singularly  bold  and  adz'anced  thought, 
llie  meaning  of  Spinoza's  philosophy  is  not  alieays  openly  expressed, 
but  lies  concealed  beneath  in  his  writings.

This  was  not  meant  to  be  an  expression  of  Spinoza's  own  belief 
at  the  time  it  was  written.  Xot  wishing-  his  own  opinions  to  be 
known  he  conceived  the  plan  of  teaching  his  pupil  the  phil- 
osophy of  Descartes,  which  he  could  do  conscientiously  and 
without  any  unpleasant  results  to  himself.

"It  is  a  presentation  of  the  subject  for  the  general  reader  which  is  masterly, 
clear,  and  entertaining.  A  profound  subject  is  thoroughh-  grasped;  a  tech- 
nical subject  is  made  plain;  and  a  complex  subject  is  made  simple.  I  am 
especially  delighted  with  it  as  a  book  for  auxiliary  reading  in  the  High

"It  is  difficult  to  see  in  what  way  this  volume  could  be  improved.  The  ele- 
mentary part  of  the  doctrine  of  evolution  is  thoroughly  covered  and  without 
a  word  wasted,  and  the  arrangement  of  the  matter  presented  is  scholarly. 
It  is  just  such  a  volume  as  teachers  everywhere  are  looking  for  to  give  those 
interested   a   first-class   idea   of   the   modern   biological   beliefs."

PROFBSSOR  STARR  of  the  Uiiircrsity  of  Chicago  is  ivcll  known 
for  his  interest  and  ccal  in  anthrof^oloi^ical  research.  He  has  devoted 
especial  attention  to  .Inierican  aborii^iiial  tribes  and  has  been  en- 
gaged in  field  tcork  in  ethnography  and  physical  anthropology  in 
Mexico,  and  has  made  his  results  public  by  means  of  lectures  and 
various  publications.  It  is  entirely  due  to  Professor  Starr's  instiga- 
tion that  The  Cornplanter  Medal  for  Iroquois  Research  was  founded. 
On  the  occasion  of  the  JVorld's  E.vposition  at  St.  Louis,  he  was  in- 
strumental in  bringing  from  Veco  an  Ainu  family  to  represent  that 
non-Mongolian  race  of  the  Japanese  empire  in  connection  ivith  all 
its  tribal  industries  and  customs.

"The  scheme  of  this  book  is  unique  and  the  range  extensive.  The  author 
enters  every  field  of  Mexican  literary  work,  introducing  us  to  writers  on 
geographical,  historical,  biographical,  literary,  and  dramatic  subjects;  in  fact, 
covering  the  whole  field  of  literary  life  in  Mexico.  The  excerpts  from  the 
works  of  the  various  authors  discussed  are  such  that  the  idea  gained  is 
exact  and  comprehensive." — Public  Opinion,  New  York. 

"It    is   Mexico   in   life,   thought   and  coloring." — Boston   Herald. 

"Perhaps  nothing  is  more  noticeable  in  these  selections  than  the  power  of 
vivid  description  and  graphic,  not  to  say  sensational,  narrative." 

— Chicago   Evening  Post. 

"It  is  a  volume  that  will  introduce  most  American  readers  into  a  new  and 
interesting  field." — Boston  Courier. 

"It  is  a  strange  fact  that  the  mass  of  our  people  know  less  of  our  next  door 
neighbors  than  of  almost  any  one  of  the  European  peoples  and  know  next 
to   nothing  of  their  men  of  letters." — Chicago   Chronicle.

"The  Ainu  are  the  aboriginal  population  of  Japan,  standing  to  the  Japanese 
as  our  Indians  do  to  us.  They  differ  from  the  Japanese  in  physical  type, 
in  character,  in  language,  in  life,  profoundly.  The  'Hairy  Ainu'  as  they  are 
often  called^,  are  people  of  light  skin,  wavy  hair,  hairy  bodies,  heavy  beards, 
horizontal  eyes,  Caucasian  features — in  other  words  they  are  whites.  Here 
we  have  an  ancient  white  race  of  Eastern  Asia,  losing  ground  and  failing 
in  life's  struggle  before  a  more  aggressive,  active  and  vital  yellow  race. 
The  thought  is  one  of  startling  interest  and  significance.     The  customs  and

"If  you  want  to  know  the  greatness  of  a  soul  and  the  true  mastery  of  life, 
apply  to  the  Open  Court  Publishing  Company  for  a  slip  of  a  book  by  Muriel 
Strode,  entitled  simply  'Aly  Little  Book  of  Prayer.'  The  modern  progress 
of  sovereign  mind  and  inner  divinity  from  the  narrow  cell  of  the  ascetic 
to  the  open  heaven  of  man  made  in  God's  own  image,  is  triumphantly 
shown  in  it,  yet  a  self-abnegation  and  sacrifice  beyond  anything  that  a 
St.  Francis  or  a  Thomas  a  Kempis  ever  dreamed  of,  glorifies  the  path.  To 
attempt  to  tell  what  a  treasure-lrove  for  the  struggling  soul  is  in  this  little 
volume  would  be  impossible  without  giving  it  complete,  for  every  paragraph 
marks  a  milestone  on  the  higher  way." — St.  Louis  Globc-Dcmocrat. 

"Exceedingly   helpful   and    illuminating." — Midland   Methodist. 

"Is  a  collection  of  beaiuiful  and  uplifting  thoughts  and  petitions,  a  suitable 
gift  for  the  friend  to  whom  you  are  willing  to  open  your  soul." 

— Chicago  Daily  Au'xw. 

"I  love  it  because  it  is  not  'prayer'  in  the  old  selfish,  vulgar  sense,  but  a 
noble  dialogue  between  the  transitory  and  the  permanent  in  the  human  soul, 
and  leaves  the  latter  supreme  as  in  the  concluding  lines  of  Faust." 

— Thaddcus  Burr  JJ'akciiian. 

"These  are  no  light,  lifeless  prayers  of  a  passing  pilgrim — vain  desires  of 
an  empty  soul.  They  are  sterling  petitions,  every  one  of  them,  uttered  from 
an  abundant  soul  that  doubtless  has  sorrowed  much,  thought  deeph',  desired 
greatly,  and  j'earns  for  sane,   ennobling,   inspiring  gifts." — E.vchaiigc. 

"These  are  rosaries  of  uplift  and  are  very  beautiful  means  of  soul  medita- 
tion. In  almost  all  of  these  'prayers'  there  is  plenty  to  take  example  from 
in  the  formation  and  the  utteraaice  of  our  own  daily  inner  prayers.  .  .  . 
Of  course  such  a  book  is  by  no  means  to  be  merged  in  any  degree  with  the 
books  of  our  various  religious  devotions ;  but  apart  from  these  the  reader 
will  find  herein  much  incentive  to  a  refined  and  helpful  meditation  for  daily, 
hourli'  encouragement." — Boston   Courier. 

"I  have  admired  the  healthy  and  invigorating  tone  of  Miss  Strode's  point  of 
view.  In  many  instances  her  style  is  so  excellent  that  the  aphorism  is  a 
veritable  gem  sparkling  with  the  truth  presented  in  a  crystal  garb  of 
expression." — L.    C.  Moiiin,  Dean   of  Armour  Institute. 

''  'My  Little  Book  of  Prayer'  is  the  Aeolian  harp,  the  soul  of  emancipated 
man,  a  literature  of  feeling  rather  than  of  thought,  of  heart  beats  rather 
than  cerebrations.  It  is,  in  a  measure,  as  strikingly  the  ripened  heritage  of 
the  ages  as  Shakespeare's  soul  or  Darwin's  mind.  Nations,  not  individuals, 
beget  genius.  Miss  Strode's  book  is  an  incontrovertible  evidence  of  the 
continuous   evolution   of   nations — and   man."

Acvaghosha's  Discourse  on  the  Awakening  of  Faith  in

Translated  for  the  first  time  from  the  Chinese  version.  By 
Teitaro  Suzuki.  Pages,  176.  Cloth,  $1.25  net.  (5s.  net.) 
Afvaghosha  was  the  great  philosopher  of  Buddhism ;  he  was 
the  first  champion,  promulgator,  and  expounder  of  the  Mahay- 
ana  doctrine,  or  Northern  Buddhism,^  and  lived  somewhere 
within  the  last  half  of  the  first  century  B.  C,  and  the  first  half 
of  the  first  century  A.  D.  This  treatise  does  not  exist  in  the 
original  Sanskrit,  but  in  its  Chinese  translation  it  is  still  used 
as  a  text-book  for  the  instruction  of  Buddhist  priests. 

"We  know  of  no  treatise  presenting  more  admirabl}'  the  essential  principles 
of  Btiddhism." — Pttblic   Opinion. 

"This  treatise  is  valuable  because  it  is  the  pioneer  in  formulating  the  doctrine 
of  faith  so  prominent  in  later  Japanese  Buddhist  sects.  It  is  not  easy 
reading  after  all  the  translator  has  done  to  facilitate  our  apprehension  of  it, 
but  it  is  worthy  of  study  and  a  welcome  addition  to  the  not  very  abundant 
stock  of  Mahayana  texts  from  the  Chinese." — American  Journal  of  Theology.

the  entire  Chinese  text  in  large  and  distinct  characters  with 
the  verbatim  translation  of  each  page  arranged  on  the  opposite

the  book  a  valuable  addition  to  the  number  of  Chinese-English

tion of  Chinese  texts  made  in  Japan  by  Chinese  scribes.

Yin  Chih  Wen. 

The  Tract  of  the  Quiet  Way.  With  Extracts  from  the  Chi- 
nese commentary.  Translated  by  Teitaro  Suzuki  and  Dr. 
Paul  Carus.     1906.    Pages,  48.    25  cents  net. 

This  is  a  collection  of  moral  injunctions  which,  among  the  Chi- 
nese, is  second  perhaps  only  to  the  Kan-Ying  P'ien  in  popular- 
ity, and  yet  so  far  as  is  known  to  the  publishers  this  is  the 
first  translation  that  has  been  made  into  any  Occidental  lan- 
guage. It  is  now  issued  as  a  companion  to  the  T'ai-Shang  Kan- 
Yjng  P'ien,  although  it  does  not  contain  either  a  facsimile  of 
the  text  or  its  verbatim  translation.  The  original  consists  of 
the  short  tract  itself  which  is  here  presented,  of  glosses  added 
by  commentators,  which  form  a  large  part  of  the  book,  and 
finally  a  number  of  stories  similar  to  those  appended  to  the 
Kan-Ying  P'ien,  which  last,  however,  it  has  not  seemed  worth 
while  to  include  in  this  version.  The  translator's  notes  are  of 
value  in  justifying  certain  readings  and  explaining  allusions, 
and  the  book  is  provided  with  an  index.  The  frontispiece,  an 
artistic  outline  drawing  bv  Shen  Chin-Ching,  represents  Wen 
Ch'ang,  one  of  the  highest  divinities  of  China,  revealing  him- 
self to  the  author  of  the  tract. 

The  motive  of  the  tract  is  that  of  practical  morality.  The 
maxims  give  definite  instructions  in  regard  to  details  of  man's 
relation  to  society,  besides  more  general  commands  of  uni- 
versal ethical  significance,  such  as  "Live  in  Concord,"  "Eor- 
give  Malice,"  and  "Do  not  assert  with  your  mouth  what  your 
heart  denies." 

"Notliinj?  is  left  undone  to  render  these  venerable  and  interesting  booklets 
intelligible  and  attractive.  The  form  in  which  the}'  are  issued  does  credit 
to  the  translators,  to  the  editor,  and  to  the  publisher.  Wc  could  scarcely 
be  taught  more  impressively  how  ineffaceably  God  has  written  his  law  on 
the  human  heart." — Princeton  Theological  Review.

COUNT  LEO  TOLSTOY. 

Many  of  the  z\.'orks  of  I  his  i:;rcaf  Russian  f'hilosof'hcr  arc  familiar 
through  traiishitions  to  the  English-reading  public,  but  many  of  his 
most  characteristic  utterances  have  only  lately  become  accessible 
through  the  zeal  and  devotion  of  admirers  and  disciples  like  Ernest 
Crosby  and  Aylmer  Maude.  The  essay  "Christianity  and  Patriot- 
ism," is  typical  of  the  origi)iality  of  his  thought  a>id  his  fearless 
attitude  in  e.vp''essing  znezi'S  contrary  to  those  of  public  opinion. 
His  argument  is  that  the  sentiment  of  patriotism  is  univortJiy  those 
zi'ho  profess  Christianity,  because  of  its  innate  selfishness,  zvhich 
z^'ould  make  the  patriot  desire  and  zvork  for  the  benefit  of  one  nation 
or  section  of  the  earth  at  the  expense  of  some  other.  The  forceful 
expression  of  this  great  mind  along  these  lines  is  especially  valuable 
in  the  present  day  of  International  Peace  Congresses.  The  extracts 
on  other  subjects  incorporated  with  this  essay  all  treat  of  the  most 
vital  issues  of  international  interest. 


Christianity  and  Patriotism. 

With  pertinent  extracts  from  other  essays. 
By  Count  Leo  Tolstoy.  Translated  by  Paul  Borger  and 
others.  Table  of  Contents :  Prefatory  Note — Christianity  and 
Patriotism,  translated  by  Paul  Borger.  Overthrow  of  Hell 
and  its  Restoration,  translated  by  V.  Tchertkoff.  Appeal  to 
the  Clergy,  translated  by  Aylmer  Maude.  Answer  to  the  Riddle 
of  Life,  translated  by  Ernest  H.  Crosby.  Views  on  the  Russo- 
Japanese  War,  translated-  for  the  London  Times.  Epilogue,

pages,  sewed  paper  cover,  large  type,  price,  35  cents,  mailed  40 
cents.     (2s.) 

"There  is  much  to  admire,  much  to  lay  to  heart  in  the  stimulating  words 
from  this  strange  man  in  his  rude  peasant  garb.  The  essay  is  well  worth 
reading  by  all,  whether  interested  in  Tolstoi  himself  or  not." 

— The   Dominion   Presbyterian. 

"His  eloquent  plea  for  peace  on  earth  will  compel  the  serious  attention  and 
earnest  reflection  of  the  true  patriot  and  philanthropist,  and  will  materially 
contribute  to  the  happy  realization  of  the  Christian  ideal  of  universal  and 
perpetual  peace   among  the   nations   of  the   world." 

— The   Baptist    Commonwealth. 

"While  Americans  may  not  wholly  agree  with  the  great  Russian  sage's  phil- 
osophy, or  rather  his  application  of  it,  they  cannot  fail  to  appreciate  his 
sympathy  and  effort  in  the  cause  of  oppressed  humanity,  and  in  behalf  of 
real  freedom  in  the  fullest  sense  of  the  term." — The  Progress. 

"These  excellent  translations  give  a  very  clear  idea  of  the  strong,  virile  style 
of  the  author  who  never  minces  words  in  the  expression  of  his  convictions. 
The  reader,  even  if  not  agreeing  with  him  in  entirety,  can  easily  understand 
the  strong  influence  which  he  exerts,  not  only  in  his  own  country,  but 
wherever  his  writings  have  a  foothold." — The  Toledo  Blade.

Every  chapter  in  the  book  holds  the  reader  in  the  keenest  interest  and  even 
delight  as  he  sees  one  after  another  of  the  castles  of  ignorance,  prejudice, 
assumption  and  conceited  theory  demolished  by  the  literary  weapons  of  the 
gifted   author." — Canadian   Methodist   Rez  iezv. 

"He  does  not  preach  hatred  of  class  and  has  no  intention  to  destroy  the 
order  of  society.  The  book  contains  the  matured  fruit  of  the  author's  man- 
hood, his  inmost  self,  his  soul  of  soul." — Miner  Co.  Democrat.

RICHARD  WAGNER. 


RICHARD  ]J\1GNER  is  famous  as  a  musical  composer,  but  it  is 
little  kno-a'ii  that  he  7i'as  also  an  author,  anil  perhaps  the  most  inter- 
esting product  of  Jiis  pen,  Jiis  Fili^riuiagc  to  Beethoven,  is  almost 
unknozvn.  It  is  a  mere  sketch,  in  the  English  translation  only 
thirty-nine  pages,  but  it  is  a  fervid  tribute  to  music  and  music's 
chief  representative  and  master,  Beethoven.  It  embodies  JVagner's 
early  ambitions  and  artistic  ideals  in  a  short  sketch  of  a  Petitions 
z'isit  to  the  great  master.  .-Ill  loT'crs  of  music  ought  to  Jiavc  read 
it,  for  they  can  not  fail  to  appreciate  and  enjoy  it.

"A    rare    story    giving    under    the    guise    of    a    mythical    conversation    with 

Beethoven,  Wagner's  own  views  of  musical  art,  thus  affording  a  deep  insight 

into    his    intellectual    workshop. "^ — Literary    J  J' arid. 

"A  pleasant   little  idyl,   saturated  of   course  with   that   exaggerated    spirit   of 

youthful   adoration   for   art  which   seems    inseparahle   from    ambitious   young 

musicians    and   their   work." — Chicago    Record. 

"Apart  from  the  interest  of  its  association  with  the  two  greatest  masters  of 

musical   composition   of   our   country,   however,   the   intrinsic   literary  quaHty 

of  the  novelette  should  be  enough  to  give  it  a  hearty  welcome  in  its  English 

form." — Presbyterian  and  Reformed  Reviczv.

German}-  direct  to  your  address  on  reeeii)t  of  remittance  with 
order.    $20.00  net.* 

This  is  one  of  the  best  works  on  the  development  of  life  in  the 
universe,  the  evolution  of  mankind,  and  the  history  of  civiliza- 
tion, the  sciences  and  industries.  In  fact,  so  far  as  we  know, 
it  is  the  very  best,  the  most  scientific,  most  comprehensive,  and 
at  the  same  time  the  most  popular  work  of  its  kind.  It  consists 
of  five  stately  volumes  in  royal  octavo,  each  of  nearly  500 
pages,  and  written  by  difi^erent  leading  German  scientists.  It 
is  profusely  illustrated  not  only  with  a  view  of  explaining  and 
elucidating  the  subject  matter  treated,  but  also  and  especially 
for  the  purpose  of  presenting  historical  pictures  from  the  history 
of  the  sciences  and  civilization.  In  addition  to  innumerable 
illustrations  in  the  text,  there  are  a  large  number  of  colored 
plates  of  every  description,  reproduced  from  valuable  paintings 
and  artistically  executed. 

The  first  volume  contains  essays  on  the  crust  of  the  earth  by 
Karl  Sapper,  and  on  terrestrial  physics  by  Adolf  Marcuse. 
The  second  volume  contains  a  treatment  of  the  several  anthro- 
pological problems  by  Herman  Klaatsch ;  the  development  of 
the  flora  by  H.  Potonie,  and  of  the  fauna  by  Louis  Beushausen. 
In  the  third  volume  we  find  an  article  on  astronomy  by  W. 
Foerster ;  and  the  first  part  of  one  on  geography  by  K.  Weule. 
The  latter  is  continued  in  the  fourth  volume,  which  also  con- 
tains an  essay  on  the  ocean  by  William  Marshall ;  and  a  treatise 
on  the  shape,  magnitude  and  density  of  the  earth  by  A.  Marcuse. 
The  fifth  and  last  volume  discusses  the  use  which  man  makes 
of  his  knowledge  of  nature,  the  subject  being  divided  into  an 
essay  on  the  beginning  of  technology  by  Max  von  Eyth  and 
Ernst    Krause     (perhaps    better    known    as     Cams     Sterne). 

Three  shorter  articles  on  the  difficulties  of  scientific  observation, 
on  the  influence  of  civilization  upon  the  health  of  man,  and  a 
conclusion  by  the  editor,  Hans  Kraemer,  close  the  last  volume 
of  the  work.  The  index  is  exceptionally  well  done.  An  English 
translation  would  be  highly  desirable,  but  considering  the  enor- 
mous expense  which  it  would  involve  will  scarcely  be  under- 
taken.

A  collection  of  Accounts,  Essays,  Recreations  and  Notes,

to  the  pliilosopJiical  faculty  of  Yale  University  for  the  degree  of

Euclid's  Parallel  Postulate:     Its  Nature,  Validity  and 
Place  in  Geometrical  Systems. 

By  John  William  Withers,  Ph.  D.     Pages  vii,  192.     Cloth, 
net  $1.25.      (4s.  6d.  net.) 

"This  is  a  philosophical  thesis,  by  a  writer  who  is  really  familiar  with  the 
subject  on  non-Euclidean  geometry,  and  as  such  it  is  well  worth  reading. 
The  first  three  chapters  are  historical ;  the  remaining  three  deal  with  the 
psychological  and  metaphysical  aspects  of  the  problem ;  finally  there  is  a 
bibliography  of  fifteen  pages.  Mr.  Withers's  critique,  on  the  whole,  is  quite 
sound,  although  there  are  a  few  passages  cither  vague  or  disputable.  Mr. 
Withers's  main  contention  is  that  Euclid's  parallel  postulate  is  empirical,  and 
this  may  be  admitted  in  the  sense  that  his  argument  requires ;  at  any  rate, 
he  shows  the  absurdity  of  some  statements  of  the  a  priori  sdiool." — Nature.

KEICHYU  YAMADA. 

PROFESSOR  YAMAHA  is  one  of  the  leaders  in  contemporary 
Jaf^anesc  art.  .it  the  time  that  he  painted  his  [anions  series  of 
pictures  illustrative  of  Buddha's  life  (some  of  cAiich  are  reproduced 
in  color  in  his  Scenes  from  the  Life  of  Buddha)  he  was  an  instructor 
of  painting  in  the  Imperial  Institute  of  Art  at  Tokyo  and  since  that 
time  has  been  made  director  of  the  .Irt  histitutc  at  A'ona^axi'a.  // 
should  be  borne  in  mind  that  the  illustrations  represent  scenes  and 
incidents  in  bidia  and  so  are  not  considered  characteristically  Japan- 
ese by  the  artist.  The  reproductions  exhibit  to  a  marked  degree 
the  almost  inimitable  delicacy  of  tint  and  e.vpressiz'Oiess  zi'hich  are 
the  most  noteworthy  features  of  the  best  Japanese  art. 


Scenes  from  the  Life  of  Buddha. 

Reproduced  in  colors  from  the  paintings  of  Keichyu  Yamada, 
Professor  in  the  Imperial  Art  Institr.te,  Tokyo.  With  a  hand- 
some cover-stamp  especially  designed  for  the  volume  by  Fred- 
erick W.  GooKiN,  in  imitation  of  a  Jkiddha-painting  of  the 
Fifteenth  Century.     Price,  $5.00  net.     (21s.) 

Each  of  the  eight  illustrations  chosen  from  Yamada's  series  for 
this  book  occupies  a  separate  leaf  and  the  description  and  refer- 
ences for  each  are  given  on  a  preceding  page.  The  incidents 
here  illustrated  are  entitled:  (1)  King  Bimbisara,  (2)  The 
First  Disciples,  (3)  The  Slanderer,  (4)  Crossing  the  Stream, 
(5)  Yashodhara,  (6)  The  Deva  Asking  Questions,  (7)  Quar- 
rels in  the  Sangha,  (8)  Preaching  the  Doctrine  that  is  Glorious. 
In  connection  with  this  collection  of  pictures  see  Dr.  Carus's 
Gospel  of  Buddha  (described  on  page  28)  to  which  reference  is 
made  in  the  descriptive  comment  of  each  picture. 

"A  beautiful  example  of  the  book-maker's  art,  and  the  Japanese  illustrations 
arc  great  in  composition  and  color." 

— Daniel  C.  Bears,  Nczv  York  School  of  .Ipplicd  Design  for  H'onieii. 
/ 
"Aside  from  their  l)cauty  this  group  of  pictures  is  of  rare  interest  to  the 
student  of  art.  Thty  furnish  an  admirable  illustration  of  the  new  school 
of  Japanese  art.  The  wonderful  softness  of  coloring  is  there,  the  dim  back- 
grounds, the  gorgeous  golds  and  velvet  blues;  but  w-e  are  astonished  by  the 
introduction  of  a  quite  recot>n.izablc  perspective  and  plain,  evidence  of 
anatomical  drawing — two  things  unknown  to  the  convestional  Japanese  art 
of  ages  past." — Atlanta-  Journal. 

"The  coloring  and  landscapes  are  always  beautiful,  and  the  reproductions 
themselves  arc  so  remarkably  good  that  it  seems  as  if  all  the  value  of  the 
originals  must  be  retained." — The  Literary  Rei'iezi'.

TESTIMONIALS  FROM  THE  READERS  OF  "THE  MONIST" 

"I  do  not  believe  any  periodical  in  the  world  is  doing  more  service  to  civilization  and  to  this 
country  that  no  other  precisely  renders  than 'The  Monist'."— Charles  S.  Peirce,  Millord,  Penn. 

"Its  great  breadth  and  liberality,  its  high  class  of  writers,  and  its  able  and  scholarly  reviews, 
are  among  its  noteworthv  features."— Lester  F.  Ward,  Smithsonian  Institution,  VVashington, 
D.  C. 

"I  read  'The  Monist'  because  it  stands  for  something,  because  it  gives  me  the  thoughts  of  con- 
temporary leaders,  and  because  it  is  always  on  the  side  of  sound  scholarship." — David  Eugene 
Smith,  Ph.D.,  Professor  of  Mathematics  in  Teachers'  College,  Columbia  University,  New  York 
City. 

".Among  the  periodicals  of  a  higher  class,  which  I  have  been  receiving  for  some  years  past, 
there  is  none  that  I  read  more  regularly  than  "The  Monist';  and  there  is  not  a  number  in  which  I 
have  not  found  some  articles  of  fruitful  suggestiveness.  I  have  been  so  impressed  with  the  value 
of  the  periodical  that  I  recommended  last  year  the  purchase  of  a  complete  set  for  the  library  of 
our  university."— J.  Clark  Murray,  LL.D.,  Professor  of  Philosophy  in  McGill  University,  Mon- 
treal, Canada. 

"I  do  not  think  that  any  journal  in  the  world  can  rival  'The  Monist,'  and  scarcely  any  other 
country  but  America  can  ever  produce  a  journal  like  this,  scientific,  and  still  all-comprising,  free- 
thinking  and  still  never  vague,  but  exact.'' — Dr.  Huebbe  Schleiden,  Hanover,  Germany. 

"  'The  Monist'  is  certainly  performing  an  important  service.  I  always  read  the  journal  with 
interest  and  profit.  It  would  be  difficult  to  exaggerate  the  value  of  your  journals  and  other  pub- 
lications tor  the  advancement  and  diffusion  of  philosophy  and  science. "—Prof.  J.  McKeen  Cattell, 
Professor  of  Psychology  in  Columbia  University,  New  York. 

"I  desire  to  state  that  there  are  found  compiled  in  this  journal  three  qualities  which  render 
it  superior  to  most  other  .American  and  European  reviews,  namely:  (i)  The  unlimited  liberty  of 
discussion  and  of  thought  in  every  branch  of  science  riervading  its  pages;  (2)  the  varied  cfiar- 
acter  of  the  articles  whtcli  are  published  in  every  sin^e  number  of  it;  and  (3)  the  names  of  its 
illustrious  contributors  and  collaborators  from  every  part  of  tlie  world."— G.  Sergi,  Professor  of 
Antliropology  in  the  University  of  Rome,  Italy.

TESTIMONIALS  FROM  READERS  OF  "THE  OPEN  COURT" 

"I  regard  'The  Open  Court'  and  'The  Monist'  as  the  two  best  American  philosophical  maga- 
zines that  we  have."— Dr.  Lester  F.  Ward,  Smithsonian  Institution,  Wasliington,  D.  C. 

"The  statement  of  the  principles  of  'The  Open  Court'  (in  No.  ^24)  as  the  organ  of  the 
Religious  Parliament  idea  is  so  admirable,  that,  speaking  from  the  point  of  view  of  an  Orthodox 
Christian,  I  wish  the  statement  might  somehow  be  put  into  the  hands  of  every  clergyman  and 
religious  leader."— Elias  Compton,  Dean  of  the  University  of  Wooster,  VVooster,  Ohio. 

"In  my  judgment  your  magazine  is  an  extremely  original  and  interesting  institution,  con- 
ducted with  uncommon  skill,  and  always  offermg  to  its  readers  a  great  deal  of  interesting 
material.  The  union  of  discussions  of  religious,  philosophical  and  scientific  questions  appears 
to  me  to  be  felicitous." — August  Weismann,  Professor  in  the  University  of  Freiburg,  Germany. 

"I  follow  the  work  of  your  magazine  with  the  liveliest  sympathy.  May  its  endeavors  be 
crowned  with  future  success." — Prof.  Rudolf  Eucken,  Professor  of  Philosophy  in  the  University 
of  Jena,  Germany. 

"It  is  always  a  pleasure  to  me  to  receive  'The  Open  Court.'  It  is  In  my  opinion  a  magazine 
of  great  value.  In  its  brief  but  solid  papers  it  throws  light  upon  many  interesting  questions." 
— Harold  Hoeffding,  Professor  in  the  University  of  Copenhagen. 

"  'The  Open  Court'  is  one  of  the  most  interesting  and  instructive  publications  of  the  kind 
that  I  receive  and  read.  It  is  an  exponent  of  modern  science  and  philosophy,  and  has  a  mission 
of  culture  and  education  peculiarly  its  own." — Dr.  Edward  Brooks,  Superintendent  of  Public 
Schools,  Philadelphia,  Penn.

PORTRAITS  OF 
EMINENT  MATHEMATICIANS 

Three  portfolios  edited  by  David  Patgkne  Smith,  Ph.  D.,  Professt)r  of 
Mathematics  in  Teachers'  Colle>;e,  Columbia  University,  New  York  City. 

In  response  to  a  widespread  demand  from  those  interested  in  matliematics 
and  the  history  of  education,  Professor  Smith  has  edited  three  portfolios  of  the 
portraits  of  some  of  the  most  eminent  of  the  world's  contributors  to  the  mathe- 
matical sciences.  Accompanying  each  portrait  is  a  brief  biographical  sketch, 
with  occasional  notes  of  interest  concerning  the  artists  represented.  The 
pictures  are  of  a  size  that  allows  for  framing  (11x14),  it  being  the  hope  that  a 
new  interest  in  mathematics  may  be  aroused  through  the  decoration  of  class- 
rooms by  the  portraits  of  those  who  helped  to  create  the  science. 


PORTFOLIO  No.  1.

"The  issue  of  this  fine  collection  is  equally  creditable  to  the  expert  knowl- 
edge and  discriminating  taste  of  the  editor.  Professor  David  Eugene  Smith, 
and  to  the  liberality  and  artistic  resources  of  The  Open  Court  Publishing  Co" 
—F.  N.  Cole,  Editor  American  Mathematical  Bulletin,  New  York. 

"  The  selection  is  well  made,  the  reproduction  is  handsomely  executed,  and 
the  brief  account  which  accompanies  each  portrait  is  of  interest.  Prof.  Smith 
has  rendered  a  valuable  service  to  all  who  have  interest  in  mathematics,  by 
editing  this  collection.  Wherever  mathematics  is  taught,  these  portraits  should 
adorn  the  walls."—  William  F.  Osgood,  Cambridge,  Mass.
